ALERT-ED: Awareness and Linkage to Resources for At-Risk Emergency Department Patients: Interviews with Older Patients, Caregivers, and Nurses

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of ALERT-ED, a digital intervention designed to automate fall risk notification and referral for older emergency department patients. Through interviews with patients, caregivers, and nurses, they identified key themes related to the intervention's implementation, including barriers to awareness and workflow integration, as well as factors that enhance trust and engagement. The findings suggest that ALERT-ED could effectively integrate public health strategies into emergency care for at-risk older adults.
