Figure 3

Data-Informed Decision Support Tool to Forecast PTSD. This figure outlines a scenario for future implementation of multiple predictive models within a decision support tool for estimating the individual risk. A patient is admitted to the ED after exposure to a potentially traumatic event and a range of risk indicators are assessed. From the collection of models previously identified, in this and subsequent studies, a best matching set of risk indicators is identified (step 1) and, if needed, the system prompts the clinician to seek information about missing risk indicators. Once enough data is available (step 2) a matching model is applied and personal risk estimate computed (step 3).
