Official title
The Impact of a Social Work Driven Transitional Care Model on Health Outcomes for At-Risk Older Adults
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The Enhanced Discharge Planning Program (EDPP) is an intervention designed to help older adults safely transition to the community after discharge. This is achieved through telephonic care coordination facilitated by social workers. EDPP social workers ensure full implementation of the discharge plan, assist with coordinating community resources and follow-up appointments, and intervene around other issues that may arise as a result of a complex transition. The EDPP intervention is currently being offered to some older adult patients discharged from Rush University Medical Center. Case managers refer older adult patients on selected units who they believe may be at risk for adverse events post-discharge. While this service is being provided to patients, it has not yet been formally evaluated. This randomized controlled trial will provide data necessary for a more rigorous evaluation of the efficacy of this intervention.
