Vulnerable Populations Clinical Trial
Official title:
Case Management for Frequent Users of the Emergency Department: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a specific case management intervention for
frequent users (FU) of Emergency Department (ED).
Compared to infrequent or non-users, most of the ED-FU visitors are identified as vulnerable
patients because they are more likely to be of low social and economical status, be more
isolated and live alone. They report more chronic medical conditions, have a higher
mortality rate and consume more healthcare resources.
In the literature, interventions aimed at improving the management of ED-FU have
demonstrated several positive outcomes, but there are still some knowledge gaps.
The proposed project tests the hypotheses that case management intervention as compared with
standard emergency care
- is a more efficient use of healthcare resources and reduces ED attendance,
- is cost-saving and
- improves quality of life,
- altogether leading to favorable cost-utility ratio.
