Brief Summary

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

The investigators hypothesis is that patient comprehension of telemedicine-enabled research informed consent is not inferior to standard face-to-face research informed consent.

The procotol will involve a prospective, randomized control trial to test the effectiveness of a telemedicine medium in obtaining research informed consent. Within a single emergency department, the investigators will conduct a simple, low risk randomized trial (single does of oral chlorhexideine to prevent hospital acquired pneumonia among adult patients with expected hospital admission). Prior to being approached for informed consent, potential participants will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation ratio to standard face-to-face consent vs. consent provided by audio-visual telemedicine. After standard clinical care, potential participants will be approached according to their allocation. Comprehension of research informed consent will be the primary outcome, and will be measured using the modified Quality of Informed Consent (QuIC) instrument.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Telemedicine

Participants allocated to this arm will be approached the using a telemedicine medium to discuss study participation. The consent form will be administered while the investigator is on a telemedicine link.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Audio-visual telemedicine

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants in an emergency department will have their care delivered using telemedicine, then they will be approached for a study by a study investigator using the same telemedicine link

Standard Care

Participants allocated to this arm will be approached in standard fashion where the investigator approaches the patient face to face. The consent form will be administered while the investigator is in the participant's room.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard care

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Participants in an emergency department will have their care delivered in person, then they will be approached by a study investigator face-to-face.
