Developing tools to enhance the use of systematic reviews for clinical care in health systems.
The researchers’ goal was to develop tools to facilitate the uptake of evidence as summarized in systematic reviews by clinical decisionmakers in health systems. After they conducted a systematic review on the management of anxiety in children, the researchers interviewed health system representatives, clinicians and patients to gain additional information about decisionmaking. Two decision-aid tools - one for the health system and the other for the clinical encounter - were then developed using stakeholders' feedback and literature searches. The health system decision aid provided information on patients who were candidates for treatment, values and preferences, costs and resources, acceptability, impact on health equity, feasibility, drug dosing, alternative therapies, remission rates, and prognosis. The encounter decision aid was produced as a set of cards that contained information on the issues that drive treatment decisions. Health system stakeholders found the first decision aid useful, and patients, parents, and clinicians found the second to be helpful.
