Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about current practices for the acute neuropsychiatric management of older adults during emergency department (ED) visits. Researchers will compare current standard of care practices with implemented guideline practice to see if standardized medication guidelines help reduce the usage of antipsychotics and/or benzodiazepines during acute presentations. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - How many older adults are receiving antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits? - Why are older adults receiving antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits? - How many older adults who receive antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits have an underlying cognitive or movement disorder? - What effects does administration of antipsychotics or benzodiazepines during emergency department visits have on patient outcomes in older adults and adults with neurocognitive disorders? - Does implementation of standardized medication guidelines help reduce the usage of antipsychotics and/or benzodiazepines during acute presentations?
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the I-CARE program in children who are in a medical hospital awaiting inpatient mental health treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can the I-CARE program be used at the medical hospitals and do the patients and hospital staff like the program? - Does the I-CARE program lower patients' emotional distress, thoughts about suicide or suicide attempts? Patients will complete as many of the 7 I-CARE videos as possible during their stay at the medical hospital and fill out online surveys. There are workbook activities that go with each I-CARE video. A hospital staff member will help the patient do the videos and workbook activities.
