Linking Novel Diagnostics With Data-Driven Clinical Decision Support in the Emergency Department

Linking Novel Diagnostics With Data-Driven Clinical Decision Support in the Emergency Department

The primary objective of this study is to validate the use of an electronic clinical decision support (CDS) tool, TriageGO with Monocyte Distribution Width (TriageGO-MDW), in the emergency department (ED). TriageGO-MDW is non-device CDS designed to support emergency clinicians (nurses, physicians and advanced practice providers) in performing risk-based assessment and prioritization of patients during their ED visit. This study will follow an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design via the following three aims (phases), to be executed sequentially:

(Aim 1) Validate the TriageGO-MDW algorithm locally using retrospective data at ED study sites.

(Aim 2) Deploy TriageGO-MDW integrated with the electronic medical record (EMR) and perform user assessment.

(Aim 3) Evaluate TriageGO-MDW in steady state with respect to clinical, process, and perceived utility outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: Adult patients receiving care at a study site ED
