TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Novel mobile device-based tool to document sideline evaluation of athletes JO - Current sports medicine reports A1 - Apple, Rachel Price A1 - Karpinos, Ashley Rowatt A1 - Bellamy, Dennis Mitchell SP - 172 EP - 177 VL - 18 IS - 5 N2 - We describe the implementation of the Athletic Injury Database (AID), a mobile device-based tool for documenting sideline encounters with athletes. Primary measures of the implementation process were: 1) patterns of AID use, 2) nature of sideline encounters captured, and 3) providers' reported satisfaction. Over 2 yr, the AID captured 6237 sideline encounters by athletic trainers and physicians. Most encounters were among athletes participating in American football (51%), soccer (15%), and basketball (12%). Knee and ankle injuries were most common. A total of 77% of sports medicine providers were satisfied with the AID. Providers can use information gleaned from a tool like the AID to improve documentation of care provided to athletes.
