Implementation and maintenance of an established clinical decision support tool algorithm: challenges and recommendations from a prospective cohort study

Conclusions: Various challenges were identified concerning CDSTA usability, and the main stumbling point was communication between the clinical and information technology staff who developed the CDSTA, demonstrated through technical language barriers, CDSTA backend updating delays, and reluctance of clinicians and staff to adapt to the CDSTA in addition to the typical daily workflow. The most significant lesson was maintaining open lines of dialogue between the developer and pilot site to allow for seamless CDSS integration into a practice and minimal technical downtime.
