Interventions

Group 1: The study is designed as a prospective, pre-post intervention study over a project time of three years with semi-quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (focus groups) methods. - Guideline (

- CPG authors (n=approx. 25)

- CPG administrators (n=approx. 15)

- technical users of CPGs (n=approx. 5)

- users of the CPG registery incl. patients (from approx. 90 organizations)

- CPG users at the point of care outpatient (n=approx. 75) and at the point of care inpatient (n=approx. 10). The study will start with a 9-month pre-intervention phase investigating the usability of

n=approx. 15 persons), 3) Testing of the retrieval of digital CPGs knowledge directly in the AWMF registry by representatives from approx. 90 organisations (n=approx. 90) and approx. 85 CPG users at t

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Usability (human level and technical level - interoperability and interconnectivity). Time of the measurement: at t0 and t1. Method a: semi-standardised online survey using existing instruments (e.g. User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)) and other questionnaires specially developed for the study for the user groups - CPG authors (n=approx. 25) - CPG administrators (n=approx. 15) - Users of the CPG registry (n=approx. 90) - CPG users at the point of care outpatient (n=approx. 25) Method b: CPG-based focus group (with separately developed CPGs, the basic structure of which is based on the endpoints and specified with regard to the role of the target group in the use of the digital CPG registry (e.g. type of use of CPG knowledge)) for the user groups - Technical CPG users (n=approx. 5) - CPG users at the point of care (n=approx. 10)	—
