Episode 961: Cell Phone Sign

Episode 961: Cell Phone Sign

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD
Educational Pearls:

  • A prospective study at the Mayo Clinic Rochester was conducted to examine whether patients actively using their phones on initial assessment in the ED was associated with higher discharge rates
  • The study included 292 patients, and only about 15% of patients were on their phone
    • The patients on their phone tended to be a younger demographic
  • Scribes were trained to record the data during their shifts
  • The results did show that patients on their phone have a higher rate of discharge
    • 94% chance of discharge if the patient is on their phone
    • 64% chance of discharge if the patient is not on their phone
  • This concept can potentially contribute to improving triage decisions
