Attitudes of pediatric intensive care unit physicians towards the use of cognitive aids: a qualitative study.
Cognitive aids are increasingly recommended in clinical practice, yet little is known about the attitudes of physicians towards these tools. ⋯ Our sample of PICU physicians were open to cognitive aids in their practice, as long as such aids preserve the primacy of clinical judgment, focus on team communication, demonstrate effectiveness through preliminary testing, and are designed and implemented with the local culture and work environment in mind. Future knowledge translation efforts to implement cognitive aids would benefit from consideration of these issues.
