About this trial
The goal of this study is to test an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called SAGE. SAGE helps primary care doctors with questions that often need a specialist. Primary care doctors are the doctors people usually see first. SAGE reviews a case and suggests what a specialist might advise.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Do doctors make sound, timely care decisions when they use SAGE? * Do those decisions match what a specialist would advise?
Researchers will compare the decisions doctors make with and without SAGE.
Doctors in the study will:
* Review made-up patient cases (these are not real patients) * Make a decision for each case, their usual way and with SAGE
