Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019 Aug 21:264:1500-1501. doi: 10.3233/SHTI190504.

Abstract

Janusmed is a clinical decision support system, developed by the Stockholm County Council that supports physicians in identifying drug-drug interactions. To determine how Janusmed is used in and affects the clinical practice, an evaluation study is currently being carried out that analyzes multiple data sources through descriptive statistics. The study focuses on how Janusmed affects the behavior of the physicians, in particular, to what extent physicians reconsider their prescription decisions based on warnings from Janusmed.
