This project will try whether asking adults in the emergency department to record symptoms and answer brief questions on a tablet can improve the information used for their outpatient care.

What this trial studies
This observational investigation will enroll adults (18+) who present to the emergency department at the Medical University of Graz and are triage category 3, 4, or 5. Selected patients in the waiting area will use a tablet to record their symptoms and answer structured, symptom-oriented questions in German. The collected data will be combined with routine medical records to create an enriched dataset intended to supplement medical history forms and discharge documentation. The goal is to determine if these patient-reported data elements can improve the quality and completeness of outpatient care pathways.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Adults (18+) presenting to the ED at the enrolling site with Manchester triage categories 3–5 who can give informed consent, speak German, and operate a tablet are ideal candidates.
Not a fit: Patients who are critically ill (triage 1–2), cannot speak German, or lack the physical or cognitive ability to use the tablet are unlikely to benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide more complete and structured patient histories that help clinicians make better outpatient decisions and follow-up plans.
How similar studies have performed: Digital patient-reported symptom collection has shown promise in other emergency and outpatient settings, but using this enriched dataset specifically to improve outpatient care pathways remains relatively novel.
