SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposed Project

‘‘A Survey of Clinical Decision

Support Systems (CDSS).’’ The AHCPR

intends to conduct a survey to gather

the opinions of front-line physicians,

nurses, and medical information

systems personnel regarding the use,

appropriateness, and effectiveness of

clinical decision support systems

(CDSS); and to determine how well

clinical practice guidelines are

integrated into these systems.

This proposed study is a part of a

larger project to identify and describe

CDSS currently available in the health

market, and to assess the use of CDSS

by health care providers in diagnosing

and treating patients as well as

identifying barriers to using CDSS. It

will assess if, and how, clinical practice

guidelines are being successfully

integrated into CDSS and will identify

any changes needed for the guidelines

to play a more significant role in future

systems.

The information collected will

indicate:

• If, and how, CDSS and clinical

practice guidelines impact the treatment

and outcome of patient care;

• What, if any, are the barriers to

CDSS and the guidelines from being

accepted by health care providers;

• What types of health care personnel

are utilizing guidelines in the treatment

of their patients and what types of

health care personnel could benefit from

such products; and

• Assess how successfully guidelines

are being integrated into CDSS and their

effectiveness when accessed as part of

CDSS; and what needs to be modified/

changed to facilitate the use of

guidelines in CDSS.

The respondents’ comments will

provide AHCPR with information on (1)

if and how CDSS may improve the

quality and outcome of care and

promote cost-containment, and (2)

whether and how to better incorporate

guidelines into the development and

use of CDSS.

Method of Collection

The survey will be conducted using a

computerized telephone interview

system (CATI). Burden estimates follow:

Number of Respondents: 80.

Number of Surveys Per Respondent: 1.

Average Burden Per Respondent: 25–

30 minutes.

Estimated Total Burden: 40 hours.

Request for Comments

Comments are invited on: (a) The

necessity of the proposed collection; (b)

the accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of

burden of the proposed collection of

information; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (d)

ways to minimize the burden of the

collection of information upon the

respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

Copies of these proposed collection

plans and instruments can be obtained

from the AHCPR Reports Clearance

Officer (see above).

Dated: August 13, 1997.
