Evaluation of a user-oriented inter-physician exchange portal within a decision support system for primary care − a qualitative study

Developing an inter-physician exchange portal within a CDSS for primary care facilitates the exchange of information between physicians and can thus improve the care for patients with rare and unclear diseases. General practitioners' motivation to engage with the portal is influenced by several factors, notably the existence of an active user community. Future developments should address usability issues and evaluate l acceptance levels, impact on patient care, and long-term user retention in a real-world clinical setting. The integration of existing solutions could also be considered.

Abstract

Developing an inter-physician exchange portal within a CDSS for primary care facilitates the exchange of information between physicians and can thus improve the care for patients with rare and unclear diseases. General practitioners' motivation to engage with the portal is influenced by several factors, notably the existence of an active user community. Future developments should address usability issues and evaluate l acceptance levels, impact on patient care, and long-term user retention in a real-world clinical setting. The integration of existing solutions could also be considered.
