In the spring of 2020, emergency physicians found themselves in new, uncharted territory as there were few data available for understanding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. In response, knowledge was being crowd sourced and shared across online platforms. The "wisdom of crowds" is an important vehicle for sharing information and expertise. In this article, we explore concepts related to the social psychology of group decisionmaking and knowledge translation. We then analyze a scenario in which the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), a professional medical society, used the wisdom of crowds (via the EngagED platform) to disseminate clinically relevant information and create a useful resource called the "ACEP COVID-19 Field Guide." We also evaluate the crowd-sourced approach, content, and attributes of EngagED compared to other social media platforms. We conclude that professional organizations can play a more prominent role using the wisdom of crowds for augmenting pandemic response efforts.
2020年春，急诊医生们发现自己身处全新的未知领域，因为几乎没有可用数据来了解由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引起的2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）。作为回应，知识通过在线平台进行众包和共享。“群体智慧”是分享信息和专业知识的重要途径。在本文中，我们探讨与群体决策和知识转化的社会心理学相关的概念。然后，我们分析了一个场景，即专业医学协会美国急诊医师学会（ACEP）利用群体智慧（通过EngagED平台）传播临床相关信息，并创建了一个名为“ACEP COVID-19现场指南”的有用资源。我们还将EngagED的众包方法、内容和属性与其他社交媒体平台进行了评估。我们得出结论，专业组织可以利用群体智慧在加强大流行应对工作中发挥更突出的作用。
