Summary

A study on the intent to use a tool (MuSt-PC) to manage symptoms of patients in a palliative care trajectory.

Detailed description

A survey study will be conducted to evaluate if GHCPs have the Intention to Use (IU) MuSt- PC in daily practice. GHCPs are recruited via the connections of the seven Centers of Expertise in Palliative Care. To invite them to participate in the study, the GHCPs are approached directly via e-mail or telephone. Participating GHCPs will be educated on how to use MuSt-PC (educational materials and instruction webinar). GHCPs will be asked to use the CDSS for five individual patients. Every time after using MuSt-PC they will be asked to answer additional questions about their experience with using MuSt-PC in that specific instance. After using MuSt-PC for five patients, they are requested to fill out a comprehensive questionnaire about their overall experiences with using the CDSS.
