Study Summary

This trial tests the effect of a video game on the medical care of trauma patients. It investigates if the game can help improve medical care given by emergency doctors.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for board-certified emergency medicine physicians who work in non-trauma centers within the continental US and are responsible for triaging adult trauma patients. It's not open to non-physician healthcare workers, doctors working at both trauma and non-trauma centers, or those practicing outside the continental US.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a video game called Night Shift designed to improve adherence to clinical practice guidelines in trauma triage. Participants will play this game initially for 2 hours, then engage with it again every three months over a period of 9 months. The control group will continue with their usual education without the game.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves playing a video game, traditional medical side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience eye strain or mild discomfort from prolonged screen time.

Active Control

Group I: Night ShiftExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Night Shift 2024 is a customized, theory-based adventure video game in which the player takes on the character of Andy Jordan, a young emergency medicine physician who moves home after the disappearance of his grandfather and takes a job at a local community hospital. The investigators will ask participants to play Night Shift for 2 hours upon enrollment (or within 2 weeks), and then come back to the game quarterly to play it again for 20 minute booster sessions. They will unlock additional game content each quarter to make the experience more enjoyable.

Group II: Usual educationActive Control1 Intervention

Participants will receive their usual continuing medical education, but nothing additional.
