Abstract

This study is a follow up on a previous one, it seeks to fill a critical knowledge gap, by providing information on the opinions of experts in a poor setting on the features of a computerized clinical decision support system they consider would aid their practice. Univariant analysis uncovered five systems features, albeit variants of one feature: the requirement to provide unique patient care recommendations. .
