What is the ROADS trial?
The ROADS trial began in late 2024. It tests the effectiveness of EHR-enabled, stewardship-guided, clinical decision support for pediatric respiratory illness. Enrollment into ROADS is automated based on ED triage data, including triage chief complaint and documentation of cough and/or abnormal respiratory effort
