Abstract
- In previous work, a prototype clinical decision support mobile application was created that accepts a patient’s genomic profile information and provides information and rationale for the prescription of certain oncology medications. The response to the tool was overwhelmingly positive by healthcare providers in the oncology field who tested the tool. This paper reports on the interdisciplinary collaboration among nursing and computer science to redesign and reimplement a new version of the tool with expanded functionality and improved usability. This paper describes the functionality, usability considerations, and usability evaluation of the tool over three versions. The current version is web-based, responsive to different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile), features improved usability, and expands the number of gene-drug recommendations provided based on CPIC dosing guidelines. This project represents a successful new collaboration between the nursing and computer science disciplines.
