Usability of a Perioperative Medication-Related Clinical Decision Support Application

Usability of a Perioperative Medication-Related Clinical Decision Support Application: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this study is to compare the usability of a novel, medication-related clinical decision support (CDS) application to the current standard medication administration and documentation workflow. The study will occur in a simulation setting, using a manikin and test patient data - no actual patients will participate. Forty clinician participants will be randomly assigned to either the CDS group (who will complete simulation tasks using the CDS prototype) or the Control group (who will complete simulation tasks using the standard medication administration workflow).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Anesthesia Clinicians including attending anesthesiologists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), and house staff (residents and fellows)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Study Staff
• Medical Students
