Hypothesis

What are the barriers and facilitators to the implementation and adoption of computerised clinical decision support systems across healthcare settings?

Conclusion

The study aims to synthesize existing literature to identify factors that hinder or promote the adoption of clinical decision support systems in healthcare.

Supporting Evidence

  • Computerised clinical decision support systems can improve patient safety and outcomes.
  • Despite their benefits, the adoption of these systems is still low.
  • Identifying barriers and facilitators is crucial for successful implementation.

Takeaway

This study will look at why some computer programs that help doctors make decisions are not used as much as they could be, and what can be done to make them more popular.

Methodology

This umbrella review protocol follows PRISMA-P guidelines and will involve searching four databases for relevant literature.

Potential Biases

The risk of bias will be assessed using the ROBIS tool for systematic reviews.

Limitations

The review will only include studies that have been subject to an eligible systematic review, potentially missing relevant data from non-reviewed studies.
