APPRAISE 2.0: Live Trial of the APPRAISE Trauma Decision Support System
Andrew Tomas Reisner
Summary
This is a pilot evaluation of the APPRAISE trauma decision-support software system ("the System"). The specific objections are as follows: 1. Evaluate the robustness of the System (i.e., whether the software performs in real-time in accordance with a priori technical specifications during real-time clinical use); 2. Evaluate whether the real-time display of the System causes distraction or confusion to clinicians treating the trauma patient such that its risks exceed its benefits; 3. Collect pilot data to allow for a statistical power analysis to design a future clinical trial evaluating efficacy.
