Interventions

  • SAGE (AI clinical decision support) — OTHER
    SAGE is an artificial intelligence (AI) based clinical decision support tool. It generates specialty-informed recommendations for a primary care consultation question. Physicians review the SAGE output while making a management decision for the synthetic case.
  • Standard eConsult — OTHER
    A standard electronic consultation (eConsult) format, without SAGE. Physicians review this information while making a management decision for the synthetic case.

Study Details

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
