Summary

Our long-term goal is to promote evidence-based patient-centered evaluation in the acute setting to more closely tailor testing to disease risk. To compare the use of risk stratification tools with usual clinical approaches to treatment selection or administration, we propose the following: 1. Test if Chest Pain Choice safely improves validated patient-centered outcome measures in a pragmatic parallel patient randomized trial. Hypothesis: The intervention will significantly increase patient knowledge, engagement, and satisfaction with no increase in adverse events. 2. Test if the decision aid has an effect on healthcare utilization within 30 days after enrollment. Hypothesis: The intervention will significantly reduce the rate of hospital admission, rate of cardiac testing, and total healthcare utilization.

Conditions

• Chest Pain
• Acute Coronary Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Chest Pain Choice Decision Aid	The clinician will review the decision aid with the patient. The decision aid will be used as a tool to facilitate discussion and educate the patient regarding the rationale for their evaluation up to that point in the emergency department visit and their individual risk for a heart attack or pre-heart attack. The clinician will provide the patient with management options consistent with both the patient's values and preferences and the clinician's level of comfort.
