Development and implementation of a digital clinical decision support system to increase the quality of primary healthcare delivery in a refugee setting in Chad
From the outset, a participatory approach involving key stakeholders from the local to the national level of the health system significantly contributed to the successful development and implementation of the CDSS. The sustainability of such an intervention necessitates ongoing long-term commitment. This includes establishing and maintaining the infrastructure, ensuring continuous human resources and technical expertise for implementation and quality assurance, and updating content to reflect advancements in clinical medicine.
