Feasibility Study of a Patient-centered Clinical Decision Support System for Recommended Screenings in Primary Care

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a patient-centered Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) called Lianeli to help primary care professionals identify patients eligible for recommended health screenings based on guidelines from the French National Authority for Health (HAS). The study aims to improve shared decision-making between doctors and patients, address obstacles like lack of time and information, and reduce patient decision-making conflicts during preventive care consultations. The Lianeli platform is used first by patients through a health self-questionnaire and access to information sheets, then jointly by patients and their general practitioners during a prevention-focused consultation. This system matches individual patient data with national screening recommendations to suggest appropriate tests. The study uses a mixed approach including quantitative assessments of Lianeli’s use and qualitative interviews with patients and healthcare professionals to explore feasibility and satisfaction. Participants will complete questionnaires and take part in consultations using the Lianeli system, with follow-up assessments within 30 to 60 days after inclusion. Researchers will measure how fully Lianeli is used, patient and professional satisfaction, usability, and screening uptake. Interviews and focus groups will explore implementation factors. The total participation includes initial consultations, questionnaire completion, and follow-up evaluations to understand the impact of the CDSS in primary care prevention.
