Impact of a Decision Aid on Patient Decision Making in Emergency Department Chest Pain Patients - Full Text View

Purpose

We are doing a study to assess the impact of including patients in making decision regarding their own medical care in the emergency department. We will randomly assign them to either receive a decision aid or usual care. In doing this, we aim to increase patient satisfaction and safely decrease medical cost.
