The aims of this study were to develop a mobile app-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) for implementation of Korean clinical imaging guidelines (K-CIGs) and to assess future developments therein.
K-CIGs were implemented in the form of a web-based application (http://cdss.or.kr/). The app containing K-CIGs consists of 53 information databases, including 10 medical subspecialties and 119 guidelines, developed by the Korean Society of Radiology (KSR) between 2015 and 2017. An email survey consisting of 18 questions on the implementation of K-CIGs and the mobile app-based CDSS was distributed to 43 members of the guideline working group (expert members of the KSR and Korean Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology) and 23 members of the consultant group (clinical experts belonging to related medical societies) to gauge opinion on the future developmental direction of K-CIGs.
The web-based mobile app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store. Detailed information on the grade of recommendation, evidence level, and radiation dose for each imaging modality in the K-CIGs can be accessed via the home page and side menus. In total, 32 of the 66 experts contacted completed the survey (response rate, 45%). Twenty-four of the 32 respondents were from the working group and eight were from the consulting group. Most (93.8%) of the respondents agreed on the need for ongoing development and implementation of K-CIGs.
This study describes the mobile app-based CDSS designed for implementation of K-CIGs in Korea. The results will allow physicians to have easy access to the K-CIGs and encourage appropriate use of imaging modalities.
本研究旨在开发一种基于移动应用的临床决策支持系统（CDSS），以实施韩国临床影像学指南（K-CIG），并评估其未来发展方向。
K-CIG 以网络应用程序（http://cdss.or.kr/）的形式实施。该应用程序包含 K-CIG，由韩国放射学会（KSR）于 2015 年至 2017 年期间开发，包含 53 个信息数据库，涵盖 10 个医学亚专科和 119 个指南。我们向指南工作组（KSR 和韩国口腔颌面放射学会的专家成员）的 43 名成员和咨询组（属于相关医学协会的临床专家）的 23 名成员发送了一份包含 18 个问题的电子邮件调查，以了解实施 K-CIG 和基于移动应用的 CDSS 的情况，并就 K-CIG 的未来发展方向征求意见。
基于网络的移动应用程序可从 Google Play 商店下载。通过主页和侧菜单可获取 K-CIG 中每种影像学模式的推荐等级、证据水平和辐射剂量的详细信息。共联系了 66 名专家中的 32 名（应答率，45%），其中 32 名应答者中有 24 名来自工作组，8 名来自咨询组。32 名应答者中的大多数（93.8%）都认为需要不断开发和实施 K-CIG。
本研究描述了一款用于在韩国实施 K-CIG 的基于移动应用的 CDSS。研究结果将使医生更容易获得 K-CIG，并鼓励适当使用影像学模式。
