Abstract

This paper focuses on improving the usability of an electronic health record (EHR) embedded clinical decision support system (CDSS) targeted to treat pain in elderly adults. CDSS have the potential to impact provider behavior. Optimizing CDSS-provider interaction and usability may enhance CDSS use. Five CDSS interventions were developed and deployed in test scenarios within a simulated EHR that mirrored typical Emergency Department (ED) workflow. Provider feedback was analyzed using a mixed methodology approach. The CDSS interventions were iteratively designed across three rounds of testing based upon this analysis. Iterative CDSS design led to improved provider usability and favorability scores.
