Designing a Best Possible Caregiver History to Facilitate Disposition Planning for Older Adults in Emergency Departments
We illustrate how Design Thinking can help rapidly develop a novel format for displaying details about caregivers that could facilitate safer disposition from the ED. The BPCH embodies what ED clinicians at our institution consider clinically relevant for their practice. Further research is needed to determine the feasibility, acceptability, and generalizability of this intervention.
