Participants appreciated the idea of supporting guideline adherence with an IT-system, but there seemed to be major obstacles to implementation: caregivers appear to be concerned of being exposed or questioned, technical difficulties might lead to avoidance, and there seems to be a lack of knowledge and awareness about the health risks for individuals with psychotic disorders. Possibly guidelines adapted for the chronically ill would find more acceptance. Technical simplifications and better information should be considered prior to further attempts to implement IT-supported guidelines in order to increase acceptance.
