Exercise is the first-line lifestyle therapy to prevent and treat CVD. We developed the Prioritize Personalize Prescribe Exercise algorithm (P3-EX), an evidence-based tool that clinicians can use to prescribe exercise for patients with CVD risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To conduct a feasibility survey study of user satisfaction and usability of P3-EX as an exercise prescription (ExRx) tool among healthcare providers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Healthcare providers enter information on the patient's medical history and CVD risk factors into P3-EX. Prioritize Personalize Prescribe Exercise algorithm then scores and prioritizes CVD risk factors and produces an ExRx for the prioritized CVD risk factor. We recruited physicians (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200939), nurses (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200963), and allied health professionals (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009231) who recommend exercise to patients through professional society meetings, presentations, newsletters, and investigators\u2019 networks. Participants completed a timed case study of a patient with CVD risk factors using P3-EX on a templated website. They then completed an adapted version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale, with responses ranging from 5 (completely agree) to 1 (completely disagree) to evaluate the ease of use, system information arrangement, and usefulness of P3-EX. Descriptive statistics determined the % response, time spent using P3-EX, and ExRx produced.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 844 recruited participants, 309 completed the feasibility survey study (healthcare provider N\u2009=\u2009143, people with other professional affiliates N\u2009=\u2009166). Of these, 86.9% agreed using P3-EX will make their patients healthier; 86.6% agreed feedback is immediate and understandable; 81.4% agreed P3-EX is intuitive, producing high-quality, evidenced-based, individualized ExRx; 83.5% are generally satisfied with P3-EX; 81.3% would recommend P3-EX to colleagues; and 79.2% agreed ExRx produced by P3-EX is safe. However, 34.4% agreed fault tolerance could be improved. Most participants (88.8%) produced an ExRx for the same prioritized CVD risk factor. The average time spent using P3-EX was 4.6 min.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We found healthcare providers are satisfied with P3-EX and agreed that it is a usable ExRx tool for patients with CVD risk factors. Our results are promising because healthcare providers lack the time, knowledge, confidence, and guidance to recommend exercise to patients.
