The aim of this study was to explore the understanding and experiences of the CDSS among Swedish pediatricians after one year of practice.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Methods: Semi-structured interviews with physicians at different levels of the health care system were performed with seventeen pediatricians working at three different pediatrics wards in Stockholm County Council. The interviews were analysed with a thematic analysis without pre-determined categories.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Results: Six categories and fourteen subcategories emerged from the analysis. The categories included the use, the benefit, the confidence, the situations of disregards, the misgivings/risks and finally the development potential of the implemented CDSS with Weight Based Dose Calculation and Dose Range Check.  </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Conclusions:  </span><span style="font-size: medium;">A need for CDSS in the prescribing for children is evident but also the need for further development based on the practical knowledge of the clinical profession. </span></p>}, number={3}, journal={Online Journal of Public Health Informatics}, author={Nydert, Per and Vég, Anikó and Bastholm-Rahmner, Pia and Lindemalm, Synnöve}, year={2017}, month={Dec.} }
