Brief summary
The goal of this study is to assess performance of a new clinical decision support system named LabTest Checker in a cohort of adult patients reporting to the internal ward's emergency department. The main question it aims to answer is: • how accurate and safe is LabTest Checker. A set of blood laboratory tests will be ordered for each participant. Participants will use LabTest Checker to obtain an interpretation of their test results. The interpretation provided by LabTest Checker will then be compared with the interpretation given by an internal medicine specialist to assess the accuracy and safety of the tool.
Interventions
A set of blood laboratory tests is ordered. Test results are recorded in the LabTest Checker. LabTest Checker's diagnostic engine automatically generates a personalized questionnaire that is filled out by the patient. After obtaining all necessary information, including the patient's chronic diseases, medications taken, and symptoms, the tool presents an interpretation of test results.
