Video Discharge Instructions (VDI) as Adjuncts to Written Discharge Instructions in the Emergency Department

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Urinary Tract Infection, Head Injury, Laceration

In brief

Patients seen in the ED with either a laceration, minor head injury, or urinary tract infection will be randomized to one of two groups. Both groups will receive the standard written discharge instructions; in addition, one group will watch video discharge instructions. Each patient will be asked to complete a short survey with questions related to the discharge instructions received in the ED, and will be called 5-7 days after the ED visit to ask questions about discharge instructions and the ED visit.
