Journal ArticleDOI
Decomposing cross-country differences in quality adjusted life expectancy: the impact of value sets
TL;DR: The choice of the value set in SMPH may seriously affect cross-country comparisons of health expectancy, even across populations of similar levels of wealth and education.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementation of multiple-domain covering computerized decision support systems in primary care: a focus group study on perceived barriers
Marjolein Lugtenberg,Marjolein Lugtenberg,Jan-Willem Weenink,Trudy van der Weijden,Gert P. Westert,Rudolf B Kool +5 more
TL;DR: Multiple types of barriers may hinder the use of large-scale implemented CDSSs covering multiple disease areas in primary care, suggesting that increasing the system’s flexibility and learning capacity in order to be able to adapt the decision support to meet the varying needs of different users should be the main target of C DSS interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
