Activity Steps

Description

Identifying emergency department (ED) patients who are at high risk for return visits is an important goal for case management to improve patient care. This quality improvement study describes the development and evaluation of the Emergency Department Case Management Priority Score (EDCMPS), an electronic medical record (EMR)-based "case-finding" system, and its ability to identify these high-risk patients. The EDCMPS showcases promise in enhancing ED CM efficiency, with strong frontline staff endorsement.
