Emergency room misunderstandings revealed in major study
NCT ID NCT01848574
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well patients and their doctors understood each other after an emergency room visit. Researchers compared the answers from patients and doctors on a questionnaire to see if they agreed. Over 1,800 adults from 14 hospitals took part. The goal was to find gaps in communication, not to test a new treatment.
