Simulated Emergency Room Sign-outs: What They Tell Us About Diagnostic Accuracy and Opportunities for Improvement
The stage of the patient's case affects both clinicians' diagnostic accuracy and confidence in their diagnosis, whereas the explicitness of the information described does not. Patients in the earlier stages of care are most impacted. At sign-out, acknowledging the stage of care the patient is in may provide additional support to clinical decision-making.
