Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We are doing a study to assess the impact of including patients in making decision regarding their own medical care in the emergency department. We will randomly assign them to either receive a decision aid or usual care. In doing this, we aim to increase patient satisfaction and safely decrease medical cost.
