2. Clinical Chart Review and Data Modeling | − 5 comparative effectiveness and medical researchers - Manual chart review of 953 patients - Regression modeling, patient characteristics, and treatment choice -7 months to complete | |
3. Ethnographic Study to Understand Orthopaedic Treatment Process | − 1 health informatics researcher - Observed 42 patient visits across 2 orthopedic surgeons - Observations recorded about physician workflow, information sources utilized, and decision-making process − 4 months to complete | |
DESIGN | 4. Collaborative Design Process to Create Wireframes | − 2 software analysts, 1 informatics researcher, 1 comparative effectiveness researcher - Agile design approach to create wireframes - Biweekly scrum sessions for wireframe design for 6 months - Design feedback collected in 3 iterations with 2 researchers and 4 orthopaedic surgeons |
5. Informed Development of I-C-IT Webapp Prototype | - Testing performed by 2 informatics and 1 comparative effectiveness researcher - Agile software development approach for 8 months to create prototype HRS. | |
EVALUATE | 6. Evaluation of I-C-IT design by Orthopaedic Surgeons | − 2 informatics and 1 comparative effectiveness researcher − 10 semi-structured qualitative interviews with open-ended questions with orthopaedic surgeons. - NVivo 12 analysis of the interviews’ transcripts and utility survey − 4 months to complete |
