“…Our study findings add to the growing evidence supporting alternative information display formats to convey the gist of clinical studies [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], suggesting that the standard format of scientific reporting, especially for article abstracts, is worth reconsidering. The ideal abstract display format should match clinicians' mental model to reduce cognitive workload in interpreting clinical study results.…”

“…Prior work regarding the primary literature has focused on displaying systematic reviews, investigating different methods of displaying results across studies, such as short summaries [11][12][13], tables [14][15][16][17][18][19] and harvest plots [20]. One recent study examined a novel presentation of clinical trial reports that restructured the visualization into several panels (i.e., study purpose, process model and data grid for viewing results, statistical methods and result interpretations).…”

“…The SUS consists of 10 questions answered on a 5-point Likert scale to assess perceived usability of a product or tool 42. Although originally used for electronic-based tools, the SUS has since been used to assess the usability of paper-based tools 43 44. Questions were adapted from ‘this system’ to ‘this leaflet’ for relevance.…”

ObjectiveTo develop information leaflets for older inpatients and/or their carers to support deprescribing of antipsychotics, benzodiazepines/Z-drugs and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).DesignAn iterative mixed-methods approach involving face-to-face user testing and semi-structured interviews was performed over three rounds with consumers and hospital health professionals.SettingSydney, New South Wales, Australia.ParticipantsThirty-seven consumers (or their carers) aged 65 years or older admitted to hospital in the previous 5 years and taking at least one regular medicine (not the medicine tested) completed user testing. Health professionals included a convenience sample of seven pharmacists and five doctors.MethodsThe antipsychotic leaflet was tested in round 1 (consumers, n=10) and revised and retested in round 2 (consumers, n=9; health professionals, n=5). Findings from rounds 1 and 2 informed the design of the benzodiazepine/Z-drug and PPI leaflets tested in round 3 (benzodiazepine/Z-drug consumers, n=9; health professionals, n=7; PPI consumers, n=9). Findings from round 3 informed the final design of all leaflets. Consumer user testing involved 12–13 questions to evaluate consumers’ ability to locate and understand information in the leaflet. Usability by health professionals was assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS).ResultsAt least 80% of consumers correctly found and understood the deprescribing information in the leaflets (9 of 12 information points in round 1 (antipsychotic); 10 of 12 in round 2; 12 of 13 (benzodiazepine/Z-drug) and 11 of 12 (PPI) in round 3). Consumers perceived the leaflets to be informative, well-designed and useful aids for ongoing medication management. The SUS scores obtained from health professionals were 91.0±3.8 for the antipsychotic leaflet and 86.4±6.6 for the benzodiazepine/Z-drug leaflet, indicating excellent usability.ConclusionsUnderstandable and easy-to-use consumer information leaflets were developed and tested by consumers and health professionals. The feasibility and utility of these leaflets to support deprescribing at transitions of care should be explored in clinical practice.

“…The fixed structure of inquiry and extensive text-based reports may hinder uptake of these data by persons tasked with developing evidence-based guidelines. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Even in well-written reviews, the structure is bound to the original analysis which may make comparisons across groups more difficult. Alternate reporting methods exist that allow users to interact with the data outside the original structure of the report and informed by the local contexts of their health systems, but these have rarely been incorporated into existing reviews.…”

Visual Evidence: Increasing Usability of Systematic Reviews in Health Systems Guidelines Development

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Integration of evidence from systematic reviews is an essential step in the development of clinical guidelines. The current practice for reporting uses a static structure that does not allow for dynamic investigation. A need exists for an alternate reporting modality to facilitate dynamic visualization of results to match different end-users' queries. Objectives We developed a dynamic visualization of data from a systematic review using the commercial product Tableau and assessed its potential to permit customized inquiries. Methods Data were selected and extracted from a previously completed systematic review. The resulting dataset was then used to develop an interactive, web-based report designed for use by a guidelines development committee. Results A novel example of combining existing reporting standards for systematic review data and modern reporting tools was developed to investigate potential benefits of a dynamic report. Demonstrations of the report to clinicians sitting on previous and future guideline committees received positive feedback for its potential benefit in guidelines development. The report received a runner-up award during the design challenge at the 2018 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Health Care. Conclusion The use of interactive, accessible data may increase the use of systematic reviews and aid decision makers in developing evidence-based practice changes.
