Family Physicians' Perspectives on Computer-based Health Risk Assessment Tools for Chronic DiseasesVoruganti, Rishi Teja 27 November 2012 (has links)
Health risk assessment tools compute an individual’s risk of developing a disease. They are potentially useful in chronic disease prevention mediated by family physicians. We sought to learn family physicians’ awareness, and perspectives on the usefulness, usability and feasibility of implementation of risk assessment tools. Focus groups, discussion with key informants, and usability testing with an EMR-embedded risk assessment tool were conducted with family physicians (n=30) from academic and community-based practices. Analysis following grounded theory methodology was used to generate categories and themes. Our findings indicate that participants are aware of the implications of risk assessment calculations though very few tools are used regularly. Tool integration with EMR systems was felt to be essential in assisting tool usability, uptake and efficiency of use. Results provide insight into current risk assessment tool use and the facilitation of wider implementation of risk assessment tools in family practice settings.
