| Measure |
Arm A (PIMPmyHospital)
Participants that will use the mobile heath PIMPmyHospital tool during the semi-simulation-based scenario.
PIMPmyHospital (mobile health tool): Each participant will first be asked to retrieve a factious patient's laboratory results on the app when randomly made available, and then reach a colleague (role played by a study investigator) when asked to do so by a text message on the app.
|
Arm B (Conventional Methods)
Participants that will use conventional methods (i.e., without mobile app support) during the semi-simulation-based scenario.
Conventional method: Each participant will first be asked to retrieve a factious patient's laboratory results from the emergency department's computerized patient data system when randomly made available, and then contact a colleague (role played by a study investigator) when asked to do so (request made by a second study investigator).
