Effect of Videogames on Real-life Triage Patterns

Completed

Conditions studied: Trauma, Physician's Role

In brief

In 2016 and 2017 the investigators conducted two clinical trials in which emergency medicine physicians were randomized either to an intervention (customized, theoretically-based video games) or to a control (nothing or text-based education). This study will now assess long-term outcomes for physicians enrolled in those two trials to evaluate the effect of the interventions on triage practices for trauma patients who presented initially to non-trauma centers in the US between December 2016 and November 2018.
