Pilot Study of the APPRAISE Trauma Decision Support System in Emergency Department Adults with Acute Injury

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the APPRAISE trauma decision-support software system to understand how well it works in real-time clinical settings for patients with wounds and injuries. This pilot study aims to assess if the software meets technical performance standards during emergency care and whether it distracts or confuses clinicians, potentially affecting patient care. The study also collects initial data to support planning a larger trial to evaluate the softwares effectiveness. The study involves using the APPRAISE system as a real-time bedside tool to assist clinicians in managing trauma patients in the Emergency Departments Acute area. The softwares use is monitored from patient arrival through protocol completion, which typically lasts about 30 minutes. The system displays information to guide trauma care during this period. Participants will be adult emergency patients with suspected acute injuries triaged to the Acute area. Researchers collect data through software error tracking and clinician surveys regarding the softwares impact on patient care. These assessments occur from arrival through the 30-minute protocol. The study monitors safety and potential risks associated with ongoing software use during trauma management.
