Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Diagnosis	Unaided: The testers will record a differential diagnosis consisting of a list of diseases and their ranking and a prioritized list of test orders, as well as the most appropriate referral for further evaluation and treatment of the patient. Aided: Then testers will enter the case into diagnostic decision support software and after getting advice from the software, the testers will record the same information as in Unaided, but allowing for the possibility that responses could differ as a result of using the software.
