Choo, E. K., Ranney, M. L., Aggarwal, N., & Boudreaux, E. D. (2012). A systematic review of emergency department technology-based behavioral health interventions. Academic Emergency Medicine, 19: 318-328.
The high volume of studies identified in this review reflects recent enthusiasm about the potential of computers to overcome barriers to behavioral health screening, interventions, and referrals to treatment in the emergency department. The available literature suggests that these types of tools are both highly feasible and acceptable to patients and staff.
