Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Emergency level (1 to 4) accordingly to the SETS

    Each participant will attribute an emergency level (1 to 4) to all clinical vignettes accordingly to SETS criteria. Reliability will be evaluated by computing inter-rater reliability using Kappa statistics.

    1 day: all computeriez vignettes will be evaluated during a one-day session in November 2015.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Correct emergency triage level identification

    1 day: all computeriez vignettes will be evaluated during a one-day session in November 2015.

  • Proper orientation

    1 day: all computeriez vignettes will be evaluated during a one-day session in November 2015.
