Sistemes electrònics; Càncer; Presa de decisionsSistemas electrónicos; Cáncer; Toma de decisionesElectronic systems; Cancer; Decision makingEl objetivo general de este informe de ETS es evaluar la seguridad, eficacia, efectividad y eficiencia de los sistemas electrónicos de apoyo a las decisiones clínicas (computerized Clinical Decision Support Systems o cCDSS), específicamente de los considerados de nivel medio (p. ej. calculadoras pronósticas o GPC automatizadas) y de nivel alto (aquellos que utilizan la IA para formular recomendaciones específicas para un paciente), para el apoyo a la toma de decisiones clínicas relativas al manejo terapéutico, seguimiento o pronóstico de pacientes con cáncer de mama, pulmón, colon-recto o próstata. También se propone evaluar el impacto de los cCDSS en cáncer a nivel organizativo, legal, ético y social/de pacientes.L'objectiu general d'aquest informe d'ETS és avaluar la seguretat, eficàcia, efectivitat i eficiència dels sistemes electrònics de suport a les decisions clíniques (computeritzed Clinical Decision Support Systems o cCDSS), específicament dels considerats de nivell mitjà (p. ex. calculadores pronòstiques o GPC automatitzades) i de nivell alt (aquells que utilitzen la IA per formular recomanacions específiques per a un pacient), per al suport a la presa de decisions clíniques relatives al maneig terapèutic, seguiment o pronòstic de pacients amb càncer de mama, pulmó, còlon-recte o pròstata. També es proposa avaluar l'impacte dels cCDSS en càncer a nivell organitzatiu, legal, ètic i social/de pacients.The overall objective of this HTA report is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, effectiveness, and efficiency of (computeritzed Clinical Decision Support Systems (cCDSS), specifically those considered medium level (e.g. prognostic calculators or automated CPGs) and high level (those that use AI to formulate patient-specific recommendations), for clinical decision support regarding the therapeutic management, follow-up, or prognosis of patients with breast, lung, colon-rectum or prostate cancer. It is also proposed to assess the impact of cCDSS in cancer at organizational, legal, ethical, and social/patient level

Front-Line Physicians' Satisfaction with Information Systems in Hospitals

Day-to-day operations management in hospital units is difficult due to continuously varying situations, several actors involved and a vast number of information systems in use. The aim of this study was to describe front-line physicians' satisfaction with existing information systems needed to support the day-to-day operations management in hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was used and data chosen with stratified random sampling were collected in nine hospitals. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The response rate was 65 % (n = 111). The physicians reported that information systems support their decision making to some extent, but they do not improve access to information nor are they tailored for physicians. The respondents also reported that they need to use several information systems to support decision making and that they would prefer one information system to access important information. Improved information access would better support physicians' decision making and has the potential to improve the quality of decisions and speed up the decision making process.Peer reviewe
