Application of Nudges to Design Clinical Decision Support Tools: Systematic Approach Guided by Implementation Science
We present a pragmatic approach to guide the selection and prioritization of nudges, informed by implementation science. This approach can be used to comprehensively and systematically consider key issues when designing CDS to optimize clinician satisfaction, effectiveness, equity, and sustainability while minimizing the potential for unintended consequences. This approach can be adapted and generalized to other health settings and clinical situations, advancing the goals of learning health systems to expedite the translation of evidence into practice.
