Video triage before the ER: a smarter way to treat Non-Urgent patients?
NCT ID NCT07546071
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether having a video consultation with a senior emergency doctor before entering the ER can improve care for non-urgent patients. 200 adults were randomly assigned to either a video consult plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal was to see if the video visit could shorten ER stays, boost patient satisfaction, and help doctors accurately decide who really needs to be seen in the ER, all while keeping patients safe.
