Leveraging Key Aspects of Collaborative Techniques to Assist Clinical Decision Making: The Case of Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

Employing collaborative systems in healthcare contexts has been explored as an important approach towards designing and developing intelligent computer solutions. This approach is concerned with identify the way in which information and decisions are assembled in the collaboration of care parties. In this regards, this study is conducted to develop a real-time collaborative system using an Intelligent Risk Detection Model (IRD) to improve decision efficiency in the case of Hip and Knee Arthroplasty. The benefits of adopting this solution include increasing awareness, supporting communication, improving decision making process and also improving information sharing between surgeons as key collaborative parties in the research case. This paper presents outcomes of an on-line survey and focus group using Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) to identify requirements of designing the system. It will be then possible to develop the prototype.
