| Abstract: | Improved childhood cancer survival rates are accompanied by a majority of survivors suffering from treatment-related complications. A clinical decision support system (CDSS) has the potential to ensure that survivors receive the care they need for those complications, as patient-specific guideline recommendations can be automatically generated for the care provider. This study aimed to (1) establish the preferences of healthcare professionals on the inclusion and presentation of guideline elements in a CDSS, (2) identify the perceived benefits and barriers of using a CDSS among care providers, and (3) explore how a CDSS can be implemented in childhood cancer survivorship care. Interviews were conducted with eleven healthcare professionals to answer the study objectives. The created overviews with the preferences of healthcare professionals on the design, benefits, barriers, and preconditions of a CDSS can be used to inform future CDSS development, as the gained insights can be incorporated into the design and implementation process. This study contains the first steps towards the optimal design and implementation of a CDSS, but future efforts are needed to realise the optimal CDSS for childhood cancer survivorship care. |
