title: User requirements rating and knowledge-level of general practitioners at the start of CholGate - a lipid management decision support project.
abstract: In the CholGate project we performed a preliminary study evaluating user requirements and knowledge level on lipid management in 40 primary care practices in The Netherlands. Practitioners rated speed, usability and completeness as important. We hope to show that the knowledge level of physicians regarding lipid management can be passively increased from its current levels by an integrated decision support system.
