Summary

This study interviewed 18 emergency department staff—including doctors, nurses, and physician associates—to find out why they don't always use clinical decision support systems (CDSS). These are computer tools designed to help with patient care decisions. The researchers identified barriers like hardware problems, privacy concerns, and confusing interfaces. The goal was to understand these challenges so future systems can be improved.
