Mean difference between barriers and facilitators (95% CI)−1.5 (−2.2 to −0.8)−1.9 (−2.6 to −1.1)−0.5 (−1.5 to 0.5)+ 3.1 (2.2 to 3.9)
  • CDSS = clinical decision support system; HOT-fit = human, organization, technology, net benefits; PCP = primary care professional.

  • Note: In the human factor, there was 1.5 additional barriers per CDSS than there were facilitators. In the net benefits dimension, there was 3.1 additional facilitators per CDSS than there were barriers.
