ABSTRACT
Emergency phone triage aims at identifying quickly patients with critical emergencies. Patient triage is not an easy task, especially in situations involving children, mostly due to the lack of training and the lack of clinical guidelines for children. To overcome these issues, we aim at designing and assessing an interactive interface for displaying recommendations on emergency phone triage in pediatrics. Four medical students formalized local guidelines written by the SAMU of Paris, into a decision tree and designed an interface according to usability principles. The navigation within the interface was designed to allow the identification of critical emergencies at the beginning of the decision process, and thus ensuring a quick response in case of critical emergencies. The interface was assessed by 10 medical doctors they appreciated the ergonomics (e.g., intuitive colors), and found easy to navigate through the interface. Nine of them would like to use this interface during phone call triage. In the future, this interface will be improved and implemented in emergency call centers.
