A Qualitative Study of Health Priorities of People With Dementia and Care Partners in Emergency Department and Hospital Care in a Public Safety‐Net Setting
Hospital admission is a critical decision point during acute care episodes for people with dementia. Incorporating brief conversations about health priorities at this juncture may improve alignment between emergency care and what matters most to patients and care partners. Adapting existing frameworks like PPC for time-pressured acute care settings may help promote shared decision-making about hospital admission.
