Join us for an online panel discussing how the organisational, economic and societal changes around COVID-19 are influencing digital health researchers.

Dr Brett Gardiner will provide personal insights and outline ways where the dichotomous efforts of both the "sharp" and "blunt" ends of the workforce can collaboratively work together to achieve sustained improvements in patient safety

This presentation outlines the development and evaluation of a new ehealth interface for GP guidelines to address these barriers, including a decision aid that can be auto-populated from patient medical records. Following a theory-based development process and user co-design, the resulting intervention was acceptable to GPs with high intentions for use, improved identification of patient risk categories and more guidelines-based prescribing intentions for high risk but not low risk patients. The effectiveness of linking the intervention to clinical practice more closely to address implementation barriers will be evaluated in future research.
