IntroductionIn the past decade, health technology assessment (HTA) has narrowed its scope to the analysis of mainly clinical and economic benefits. However, twenty-first century technology challenges require the need for more holistic assessments to obtain accurate recommendations for decision-making, as it was in HTA's foundations. VALues In Doing Assessments of health TEchnologies (VALIDATE) methodology approaches complex technologies holistically to provide a deeper understanding of the problem through analysis of the heterogeneity of stakeholders’ views, allowing for more comprehensive HTAs. This study aimed to assess a pharmaceutical clinical decision support system (CDSS) using VALIDATE.MethodsA systematic review of the empirical evidence on CDSS was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for literature published between 2000 and 2020. Additionally, a review of grey literature and semi-structured interviews with different hospital stakeholders (pharmacists, physicians, computer engineers, etc.) were conducted. Content analysis was used for data integration.ResultsPreliminary literature results indicated consensus regarding the effectiveness of CDSS. Nevertheless, when including multistakeholder views, CDSS appeared to not be fully accepted in clinical practice. The main reasons for this appeared to be alert fatigue and disruption of workflow. Preliminary results based on information from the literature were contrasted with stakeholder interview responses.ConclusionsIncorporation of facts and stakeholder values into the problem definition and scoping for a health technology is essential to properly conduct HTAs. The lack of an inclusive multistakeholder scoping can lead to inaccurate information, and in this particular case to suboptimal CDSS implementation concerning decision-making for the technology being evaluated.

  Clinical decision support system (CDSS) is promising in assisting physicians for improving decision-making process and facilitates healthcare services. In medicine, causality has become the main concern throughout healthcare and decision-making. Causality is necessary for understanding all structures ofscientific reasoning and for providing a coherent and sufficient explanation for any event. However, thereare lack of existing CDSS that provide causal reasoning for the presented outcomes or decisions. Theseare necessary for showing reliability of the outcomes, and helping the physicians in making properdecisions. In this study, an ontology-based CDSS model is developed based on several key concepts andfeatures of causality and graphical modeling techniques. For the evaluation process, the Pellet reasoneris used to evaluate the consistency of the developed ontology model. In addition, an evaluation toolknown as Ontology Pitfall Scanner is used for validating the ontology model through pitfalls detection.The developed ontology-based CDSS model has potentials to be applied in clinical practice and helpingthe physicians in decision-making process. Keywords: clinical decision support system, ontology, causality, causal reasoning, graphical modeling

Objective. To explore barriers and facilitators to implementing an evidence-based clinical decision support (CDS) tool (BREASTChoice) about post-mastectomy breast reconstruction into routine care. Materials and Methods. A stakeholder advisory group of cancer survivors, clinicians who discuss and/or perform breast reconstruction in women with cancer, and informatics professionals helped design and review the interview guide. Based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), we conducted qualitative semistructured interviews with key stakeholders (patients, clinicians, informatics professionals) to explore intervention, setting characteristics, and process-level variables that can impact implementation. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed based on the CFIR framework using both inductive and deductive methods. Results. Fifty-seven potential participants were contacted; 49 (85.9%) were eligible, and 35 (71.4%) were enrolled, continuing until thematic saturation was reached. Participants consisted of 13 patients, 13 clinicians, and 9 informatics professionals. Stakeholders thought that BREASTChoice was useful and provided patients with an evidence-based source of information about post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, including their personalized risks. They felt that BREASTChoice could support shared decision making, improve workflow, and possibly save consultation time, but were uncertain about the best time to deliver BREASTChoice to patients. Some worried about cost, data availability, and security of integrating the tool into an electronic health record. Most acknowledged the importance of showing clinical utility to gain institutional buy-in and encourage routine adoption. Discussion and Conclusion. Stakeholders felt that BREASTChoice could support shared decision making, improve workflow, and reduce consultation time. Addressing key questions such as cost, data integration, and timing of delivering BREASTChoice could build institutional buy-in for CDS implementation. Results can guide future CDS implementation studies.
