Evaluation of an electronic prescription platform: Clinicians' feedback on three distinct services aiming to facilitate clinical decision and safer e-prescription.

Background: Health Care Professionals (HCPs) are the main end-users of digital clinical tools such as electronic prescription systems. For this reason, it is of high importance to include HCPs throughout the design, development and evaluation of a newly introduced system to ensure its usefulness, as well as confirm that it tends to their needs and can be integrated in their everyday clinical practice.

The clinical outcome of the Metha short hip stem: a systematic scoping review.

Introduction: Short femoral stems were designed to bridge the gap between conventional straight design stems and hip resurfacing prostheses in total hip arthroplasty (THA). A number of clinical trials have been recently conducted to assess the clinical and safety profile of the cementless, colarless, tapered Metha short hip stem in young or active middle-aged individuals.

Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
