GED, general equivalency diploma; NEDOCS, National Emergency Department Overcrowding Score; PMCA, Pediatric Medical Complexity Algorithm.
χ2.
PMCA is used to determine child medical complexity on the basis of ≤3 years’ worth of diagnosis codes.
NEDOCS score indicates ED crowding relative to staff and rooms available and was recorded at the time of family enrollment in the study.
Triage level assigned in ED to indicate illness severity. Patients with triage level of 1 (highest acuity) were not eligible to participate.
For these measures collected during the follow-up survey, the denominators were 163 for non–video-recorded participants and 45 for video-recorded participants.
