Decision Support for Simulated Emergency Triage by Nurses: A Randomized Crossover Study

8. listopadu 2026 aktualizováno: National Taiwan University Hospital

Development, Validation, and Human-AI Collaboration Evaluation of a Taiwan Triage and Acuity Scale Decision Support System

This randomized, three-period crossover study will evaluate a Taiwan Triage and Acuity Scale (TTAS) decision support system in a controlled simulation. Thirty nurses with emergency triage training or experience will each assess three different sets of 50 standardized, de-identified emergency cases. The three study conditions are unassisted triage, case-specific TTAS decision support, and a sham assistance interface. The order of conditions will be randomized, with 7 to 14 days between study periods. The main outcomes are agreement between nurses' final TTAS levels and an expert reference standard, active time needed to assess 50 cases, and a prespecified safety-adjusted efficiency score. Additional outcomes include undertriage, overtriage, workload, usability, and responses to misleading advice. The system will not be used for actual patient triage or entered into clinical records.

Detailní popis

The study will develop a traceable TTAS rule knowledge base and evaluate a decision support prototype in simulated emergency triage. A language-processing component identifies candidate complaints, vital signs, and modifiers from standardized case narratives. A deterministic rules engine generates a suggested TTAS level, matched rules, prompts for additional information, and a draft note. Nurses retain final decision authority. Three balanced case sets of 50 de-identified cases will be prepared from retrospective emergency data. At least two experienced emergency physicians or triage nursing experts will independently establish the reference TTAS level; disagreements will be adjudicated by a third blinded expert. Participants will be stratified by clinical experience and site and assigned to one of six condition sequences. Each participant completes all three conditions with different case sets and a 7- to 14-day interval between periods. The sham interface resembles the active interface but provides suggestions that are not based on the individual case, allowing assessment of automation bias. Analysis will account for study condition, period, sequence, case set, participant experience, case acuity, and repeated observations within participants and cases. This is a simulation study; no decision support output is used in care of real patients.

Period 2: sham assistance (C); Period 3: unassisted triage (A). Each period includes 50 different standardized cases.

During review of 50 standardized cases, a research-only interface displays candidate presenting complaints, matched TTAS rules, a suggested triage level, prompts for missing information, and a draft triage note. The nurse makes the final decision.

Exact agreement with expert TTAS reference standard
Časové okno: During each of three approximately 60-minute study periods, separated by 7-14 days; up to approximately 4 weeks per participant.

Percentage of completed case assessments for which the nurse's final five-level TTAS assignment exactly matches the adjudicated expert reference level, evaluated separately under each condition.
