Brief Summary:
This study will assess the efficacy of receiving emergency care at home versus in the brick-and-mortar emergency department
Detailed Description:
Care in an emergency department has many benefits It delivers high-intensity critical care on demand to large populations and serves as an efficient gateway to hospitalization However some populations may not be well-served by the traditional emergency department particularly older adults adults with serious illness and those who are homebound Many harms may come to older adults in the emergency department including delirium pressure injuries infections anxiety and others Emergency department crowding secondary to hospital capacity constraints may also lead to suboptimal care as patients wait many hours for their inpatient bed even after a disposition decision is made
As a result the investigators will evaluate in a randomized controlled trial the efficacy of emergency care delivered at home instead of in the emergency department
