Background: The care of HIV-related tuberculosis (HIV/TB) is complex and challenging. Clinical decision support (CDS) systems can contribute to improve quality of care, but more knowledge is needed on factors determining user acceptance of CDS.

Objectives: To analyze physicians' and nurses' acceptance of a CDS prototype for evidence-based drug therapy recommendations for HIV/TB treatment.

Methods: Physicians and nurses were involved in designing a CDS prototype intended for future integration with the Swedish national HIV quality registry. Focus group evaluation was performed with ten nurses and four physicians, respectively. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was used to analyze acceptance.

Results: We identified several potential benefits with the CDS prototype as well as some concerns that could be addressed by redesign. There was also concern about dependence on physician attitudes, as well as technical, organizational, and legal issues.

Conclusions: Acceptance evaluation at a prototype stage provided rich data to improve the future design of a CDS prototype. Apart from design and development efforts, substantial organizational efforts are needed to enable the implementation and maintenance of a future CDS system.

The utilization of excited charge carriers in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) for optoelectronic technologies has been a long-standing goal in the field of nanoscience. Experimental efforts to extend the lifetime of excited carriers have therefore been a principal focus. To understand the limits of these lifetimes, in this work, we theoretically study the time scales of pure electron relaxation in negatively charged NCs composed of two prototypical materials: CdSe and CdS.

Background: Integrating advanced machine-learning (ML) algorithms into clinical practice is challenging and requires interdisciplinary collaboration to develop transparent, interpretable, and ethically sound clinical decision support (CDS) tools. We aimed to design a ML-driven CDS tool to predict opioid overdose risk and gather feedback for its integration into the University of Florida Health (UFHealth) electronic health record (EHR) system.

Methods: We used user-centered design methods to integrate the ML algorithm into the EHR system.

Objectives: Conducting simulation testing with end-users is essential for facilitating successful implementation of new health information technologies. This study designed a standardized simulation testing process with a system prototype prior to implementation to help study teams identify the system's interpretability and feasibility from the end-user perspective and to effectively integrate new innovations into real-world clinical settings and workflows.

Materials And Methods: A clinical simulation model was developed to test a new Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system outside of the clinical environment while maintaining high fidelity.

Background: Women veterans, compared to civilian women, are especially at risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV), pointing to the critical need for IPV screening and intervention in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). However, implementing paper-based IPV screening and intervention in the VHA has revealed substantial barriers, including health care providers' inadequate IPV training, competing demands, time constraints, and discomfort addressing IPV and making decisions about the appropriate type or level of intervention.

Objective: This study aimed to address IPV screening implementation barriers and hence developed and tested a novel IPV clinical decision support (CDS) tool for physicians in the Women's Health Clinic (WHC), a primary care clinic within the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System.

Introduction: Digital healthcare innovation has yielded many prototype clinical decision support (CDS) systems, however, few are fully adopted into practice, despite successful research outcomes. We aimed to explore the characteristics of implementations in clinical practice to inform future innovation.

Methods: Web of Science, Trip Database, PubMed, NHS Digital and the BMA website were searched for examples of CDS systems in May 2022 and updated in June 2023.
