Utility of a Smartphone-Based Clinical Decision Support System for Pressure Ulcer Management by Physicians: Randomized Crossover Pilot Study Background: Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are widely used in various health care settings. In Japan, pressure ulcers are becoming a major concern in an aging society due to their increasing prevalence. However, management is often handled by nonspecialists in wound care due to regional disparities in specialist availability. Objective: To provide support for nonspecialists in wound care, we developed a prototype smartphone-based CDSS for pressure ulcer management. The system prompts users to answer questions about the wound's condition and recommends appropriate ointments and wound dressings by using a safety-first approach. This study aims to evaluate the utility of this system. Methods: We conducted a randomized crossover pilot study involving 28 general internal medicine (GIM) physicians. Participants were randomly assigned to group A (intervention-control) or group B (control-intervention). Participants evaluated 10 standardized pressure ulcer photographs and selected the most appropriate ointment and wound dressing for each. The unit of analysis was the individual response to each question (N=280 total observations). We used generalized estimating equations with an exchangeable correlation structure to account for within-subject clustering and adjust for potential period and sequence effects. Results: The overall correct response rate during the intervention phase was significantly higher than that during the control phase (49.3% vs 4.3%, respectively). After adjusting for clustering and crossover biases, the use of CDSS was associated with a 29.1-fold increase in the odds of a correct response (95% CI 8.2-103; P
