From: Failure of a patient-centered intervention to substantially increase the identification and referral for-treatment of ambulatory emergency department patients with occult psychiatric conditions: a randomized trial [ISRCTN61514736]

Figure 1

This graphic shows how the 95 subjects tallied in the final analysis were culled from the 4,054 patients seen in the ED during study hours. Patients were randomized to three groups: tell neither (PRIME-MD results not shared with the patient or physician – the control group), tell patient (PRIME-MD results shared with the patient), and tell both (PRIME-MD results shared with patient and physician). In the lowest level of boxes, the entry "ER MD Dx or Tx" indicates how many patients diagnosed by PRIME-MD were diagnosed, treated or referred by the emergency physician.
