Abstract

This doctoral research explored strategies for the design and statistical development of probability-based nursing decision support tools within the clinical context of in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (IHCPA). IHCPA remains a harmful and costly event, and recent attempts to assist with early recognition via probability-based clinical decision support (PBCDS) tools have fallen short of improving patient outcomes. These shortcomings are due, in part, to the complex nature of PB-CDS tools with inadequate attention paid to important design elements during the early stages of the tools' construction.1 Failure to improve patient outcomes may also be a condition of the PB-CDS tools' underlying statistical assumptions. Thus, this paucity of evidence provided an opportunity to examine aspects of PB-CDS tools that influence clinician's decision making which in turn could impact patient outcomes.
