CMSL Ambulatory Sensitive Condition Nudge

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Behavioral Intervention, Emergency Department Visits, Nurse Care Coordination

In brief

The project aims to evaluate a nurse-led intervention to reduce inappropriate emergency department (ED) use among adult patients seen at Geisinger's Community Medicine Service Line (CMSL) clinics. The intervention occurs immediately following an appointment where they received a diagnosis of an ambulatory sensitive condition (ASC). The evaluation will compare eligible patients with an ASC who were randomly assigned to receive follow-up outreach from a nurse (who was automatically prompted via the Epic electronic health record system to initiate outreach) with those who were randomly assigned to receive standard care. Analyses will be intent-to-treat. The primary outcome is ED use in the week following the appointment.
