Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is the most common cause for activity limitation and has a tremendous socioeconomic impact in Western society. In primary care, LBP is commonly treated by general practitioners (GPs) and physiotherapists. In the Netherlands, patients can opt to see a physiotherapist without referral from their GP (so called ‘self-referral’). Although self-referral has improved the choice of care for patients, it also requires that a patient knows exactly how to select the best next step in care for his or her situation, which is not always evident. This paper describes the design of a web-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) that guides patients with LBP in making suitable choices on self-referral. We studied literature and guidelines on LBP and conducted semi-structured interviews with 3 general practitioners and 5 physiotherapists on the classification of LBP with respect to the best next step in care: visit a GP, visit a physiotherapist or perform self-care. The interv iew results were validated by means of an online survey, which resulted in a select group of key classification factors. Based on the results, we developed an ontology and a decision tree that models the decision making process of the CDSS. (More)
