Effects and characteristics of clinical decision support systems on the outcomes of patients with kidney disease: a systematic review.

Objectives: This systematic review was conducted to investigate the characteristics and effects of clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) on clinical and process-of-care outcomes of patients with kidney disease.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was conducted in electronic databases to identify relevant studies published until November 2020. Randomized clinical trials evaluating the effects of using electronic CDSS on at least one clinical or process-of-care outcome in patients with kidney disease were included in this study.

Evaluating the usability of a national health information system with heuristic method.

Background: Hospital Statistics and Information System is one of the most important health information systems in Iran used in all hospitals in this country. Usability problems can reduce the speed and precision of users when interacting with this system. This study aimed to identify the usability problems of a national health system called "AVAB".

Identifying a minimum data set as a necessity to design a web-based personal health record for patients under chronic dialysis.

Objective: Many people suffer from kidney disease, and self-management is essential in these patients. Personal health record (PHR) can be used as a tool to improve self-management in these patients. This study aimed to identify a minimum data set (MDS) of PHR in dialysis patients.

Features and Effects of Information Technology-Based Interventions to Improve Self-Management in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: a Systematic Review of the Literature.

Slowing down the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its adverse health outcomes requires the patient's self-management and attention to treatment recommendations. Information technology (IT)-based interventions are increasingly being used to support self-management in patients with chronic diseases such as CKD. We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the features and effects of IT-based interventions on self-management outcomes of CKD patients.
