Developing healthcare decision support tools in a healthcare setting faces numerous challenges. The primary challenge is the critical nature of healthcare decisions, given that lives are at stake. It is crucial to ensure that all decisions made by these tools are validated by a doctor, emphasizing the need for human oversight. Additionally, the overwhelming amount of information that healthcare professionals need to process makes it easy to overlook crucial details, underscoring the importance of having a double-check system in place. These tools aim to assist healthcare professionals in their daily tasks by providing support similar to spell check in emails. Anecdotes highlight instances where vital information was buried in extensive notes, stressing the necessity of presenting crucial information in a clear and actionable manner through these decision support tools.
