      Breaking bad news (BBN) in the emergency department (ED) represents a challenging and stressful situation for physicians. Many medical students and residents feel stressed and uncomfortable with such situations because of insufficient training. Our randomized controlled study aimed to assess the efficacy of a four-hour BBN simulation-based training on perceived selfefficacy, the BBN process, and ...

      Triage systems for out-of-hours primary care physician (PCP) calls have been implemented empirically but no triage algorithm has been validated to date. A triage algorithm named SALOMON (Systeme Algorithmique Liegeois d’Orientation pour la Medecine Omnipraticienne Nocturne) was developed to guide triage nurses. This study assessed the performance of the algorithm using simulated PCP calls. Methods: ...
