Why the study?
Strategies to improve cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment are critical, and clinical decision support systems guided by updated guidelines may benefit screening and early diagnosis in remote regions.
Does the implementation of a Computerized Decision Support System (CDSS) improve the feasibility of screening for hypertension and diabetes in a resource-constrained primary care setting?
Does the implementation of a Computerized Decision Support System (CDSS) improve the feasibility of screening for hypertension and diabetes in a resource-constrained primary care setting?
The implementation of a clinical decision support system for hypertension and diabetes screening in a resource-constrained region is feasible, effective at identifying new cases, and highly accepted by primary care professionals.
Supports CDSS screening feasibility in resource-limited settings; leaves open outcome benefits pending prospective trials.
Background Strategies aimed at improving the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are of utmost importance. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are guided by updated guidelines and may be capable of benefiting screening and early diagnosis initiatives in remote regions. Objective To develop a CDSS for screening hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM), as well as to assess its feasibility and usability in the context of a primary care setting in a resource-constrained region. Methods This research focused on [...]
