Summary

This study tested whether a custom video game could improve how emergency room doctors follow guidelines for treating severely injured patients. 800 physicians from non-trauma centers across the US played the game for 2 hours initially, then 20 minutes every three months. The goal was to see if the game reduced under-triage and improved patient outcomes.
