Asthma Management and Clinical Decision Support

System Usability and User Satisfaction Survey

We are conducting a study to help us assess the usefulness of the Asthma Assessment Form in the Electronic Medical Record. We are asking you to complete a brief survey that should take less than 10 minutes of your time. Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary and your answers will be anonymous. Thank you for helping us improve the design of clinical decision support tools for electronic health records.

We are interested in understanding how you utilize the Electronic Medical Record for your patients with asthma. For each question below, indicate how often the statement is true.
		Never	Sometimes	Often	Usually	Always
a.	I begin to document the history in Centricity during the patient visit.
b.	I begin to document the exam findings in Centricity during the patient visit.
c.	I begin to document my assessment in Centricity during the patient visit.
d.	I begin to document my plan in Centricity during the patient visit.
e.	I print an asthma action plan and give it to the patient, if the patient has asthma on the problem list.
f.	I print an asthma action plan and give it to the patient, if the patient is having asthma symptoms.
g.	I have used the asthma management forms of the Centricity system.
h.	I complete the asthma management forms during the patient visit.

The following questions are about your beliefs about guidelines and decision support systems. A decision support system compares patient characteristics with a knowledge base and then guides a health provider by offering patient-specific and situation-specific advice.
		Strongly Disagree	Disagree	Neutral	Agree	Strongly Agree
