Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of the use of an evidence-based decision support system (EBMeDS) in daily Belgian family medicine and to study the effectiveness of EBMeDS use on improving diabetes care.

Conditions

  • Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

The EBMeDS system

The EBMeDS system receives structured patient data from the electronic medical records in HealthOne and returns reminders, therapeutic suggestions and diagnosis-specific links to guidelines. Electronic forms and calculators (e.g. a calculator for glomerular filtration) are integrated in the system. The original EBMeDS system was developed by Duodecim in Finland and covers a full spectrum of all clinical areas. Relevant reminders in all clinical areas are shown to the physicians in the intervention group.

OTHER

Evidence Linker

The Evidence Linker is already integrated in Belgian routine practice since 2012 and could be considered as part of the usual care process. When entering a diagnosis coded in ICPC, relevant clinical practice guidelines are retrieved by the Evidence Linker and could by consulted on the initiative of the family physician.
