Program of intensive support in emergency departments for care partners of cognitively impaired patients: A randomized controlled trial
Cognitive screening during emergency department (ED) visits is feasible for quality improvement. ED cognitive screening alone may not identify dyads who need care management. Identifying root causes for ED visits could personalize post-visit care management. Root cause-informed care management did not reduce ED revisits. Need-based screening might better target ED patients with cognitive impairment.
