Abstract

Critical decisions are made at tumor boards (TB). Further research is needed to guide the design and implementation of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) for highly interactive, fast-paced, and complex TB decision making. We highlight two key human factors that should be considered in the design and Implementation of CDSS for multidisciplinary deliberations: cognitive burden and trust.
