Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study investigates if a computer-based clinical decision support tool for skin cancer may improve the diagnostic accuracy of general practitioners (GPs). The aim of the program is to help GPs increase their diagnostic accuracy, in particular regarding the selection of suspicious skin lesions that need biopsy or referral to specialist health care for further assessment. Half of the physicians in the trial will have the clinical decision support tool available during consultations, while the other half has no such tool available. We hypothesize that general practitioners using the clinical decision support tool will have a higher number of correct classifications of skin lesions compared to doctors without the tool.

- timeFrame
- Up to 3 months
- description
- Skin lesions selected by the GP are classified into three classes: 1 Not suspicious for skin cancer, 2 Somewhat suspicious for skin cancer, 3 Very suspicious for skin cancer. The reference standard is the specialist's classification. The number of correct classifications are counted. Sensitivity and specificity scores are calculated.
