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

8. November 2026 aktualisiert von: 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.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

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.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Kein Eingriff: Sequence A[BC]

Period 1: unassisted triage (A); and then Period 2: active TTAS decision support (B); Period 3: sham assistance (C). Each period includes 50 different standardized cases.

Period 2: sham assistance (C); Period 3: active TTAS decision support (B). Each period includes 50 different standardized cases.

Aktiver Komparator: Sequence B[AC]

Period 1: active TTAS decision support (B); and then Period 2: unassisted triage (A); Period 3: sham assistance (C). Each period includes 50 different standardized cases.

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.

Placebo-Komparator: Sequence C[AB]

Period 1: sham assistance (C); and then Period 2: unassisted triage (A); Period 3: active TTAS decision support (B). Each period includes 50 different standardized cases.

Period 2: active TTAS decision support (B); Period 3: unassisted triage (A). Each period includes 50 different standardized cases.

During review of 50 standardized cases, an interface resembling the active system displays non-case-specific or distribution-matched suggestions. These suggestions are for simulation only and are not used in patient care.

Zeitfenster
Exact agreement with expert TTAS reference standard
Zeitfenster: 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.

During each of three approximately 60-minute study periods, separated by 7-14 days; up to approximately 4 weeks per participant.
Active time to complete 50 case assessments
Zeitfenster: During each of three approximately 60-minute study periods, separated by 7-14 days; up to approximately 4 weeks per participant.

Total active time in minutes required to complete the 50-case set in each condition, excluding recorded breaks and system interruptions. The analysis of incomplete sets must be specified before enrollment.

Safety-Adjusted Efficiency Score
Zeitfenster: During each of three approximately 60-minute study periods, separated by 7-14 days; up to approximately 4 weeks per participant.

Prespecified score combining TTAS accuracy and speed. The approved protocol assigns 1.0 for exact agreement, 0.8 or 0.6 for overtriage by one or two levels, 0.4 for undertriage by one level, and 0 for undertriage by two or more levels, with additional penalties for undertriage of Level 1-2 cases. The exact high-acuity penalty, time component, aggregation, score range, and handling of missing cases require final specification before submission.
