Table 9 Patient Role interventions and intervention characteristics
From: Strategies to measure and improve emergency department performance: a scoping review
Intervention | Intervention Characteristics |
Decision Supports | Decision support interventions are designed to support patient involvement in decisions about care for bactremia and associated complications in febrile children, laceration repair in children, rehydration options, and risk of acute coronary syndrome [86]. Paper based decision support interventions convey aggregate level information on risks and benefits of treatment options [86]. The use of computerised methods to generate outcome probabilities for individual patients using embedded statistical models [86]. |
Education | Parental/ family education has also been implemented through a pain management booklet and bookmark, a ‘pain passport’ which actively engaged parents and children in pain management discussions with nurses encouraging children and parents to monitor and track the child’s pain score during their ED stay [37]. |
