Brief Summary: Every year nearly 240000 patients age 60 and older are transferred between acute care hospitals for nontraumatic surgical emergencies and these patients experience worse outcomes than patients admitted directly from an emergency department within a given hospital Care coordination for older patients with emergency general surgery EGS diagnoses suffers because conversations between referring and accepting providers regarding decisions to transfer are ineffective incomplete and inefficient To standardize a method to support transfer decisions that is tailored to older adults within extant transfer processes the team will 1 engage key stakeholders to develop the intervention to Support Interhospital Transfer Decisions SITe for older EGS patients by adapting an existing intervention for interhospital handoffs and 2 assess the acceptability of the SITe intervention test the feasibility of study procedures and explore efficacy outcomes for evaluation in a future larger clinical trial
Detailed Description: Aim 2 of the protocol qualifies as a clinical trial Aim 2 will assess the acceptability of the intervention to Support Interhospital Transfer Decisions SITe test the feasibility of study procedures and explore efficacy outcomes for evaluation in a future larger clinical trial Modeling a similar and successful pilot the investigators will conduct a pre controlpost intervention study with 50 transfers in each arm They will collect pre- and post-intervention data after each eligible transfer through 1 chart review and transfer center logs and 2 Qualtrics surveys of referring and accepting providers The team will collect baseline pre and post-intervention measures of the potential to avoid transfers efficiency of transfer communication and execution provider emotional labor and patient health outcomes accepting providers will utilize the SITe intervention during calls discussing transfer decisions regarding older emergency general surgery patients Transfer center nurses and referring providers will be informed of the SITe intervention tool

The study was terminated early The research team completed pre-intervention data collection and intervention training No post-intervention data was collected As of 3212024 the UW-Madison IRB no longer considers training accepting surgeons on the intervention research
