Message: From GoLocalProv by GoLocalProv Health Team: Has the iPad replaced the nurse in emergency rooms? No, but a Rhode Island Hospital researcher has found that emergency department patients prefer technology-based interventions for high-risk behaviors such as alcohol use, unsafe sex and violence, over people. In the paper by Megan L. Ranney, MD, ER patients said they would choose technology (ie text messaging, email, or Internet) over traditional intervention methods such as in-person or brochure-based behavioral interventions. The study is available now online in advance of print in the Annals of Emergency Medicine. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/er-patients-prefer-technology-to-people-ri-hospital-study
