Testing an AI Tool to Help Primary Care Clinicians With Specialty Consultation Questions (NCT07706920)

Physician Usability and Output Quality Evaluation of a Retrieval-Augmented Language Model System for Specialty Medical Consultation: A Human-Computer Interaction Study

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Stanford University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this study is to test an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called SAGE. SAGE helps primary care doctors with questions that often need a specialist. Primary care doctors are the doctors people usually see first. SAGE reviews a case and suggests what a specialist might advise. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do doctors make sound, timely care decisions when they use SAGE? * Do those decisions match what a specialist would advise? Researchers will compare the decisions doctors make with and without SAGE. Doctors in the study will: * Review made-up patient cases (these are not real patients) * Make a decision for each case, their usual way and with SAGE
