Primary Palliative Care for Emergency Medicine (PRIM-ER)

This proposal builds upon the evaluation of Primary Palliative Care Education, Training, and Technical Support for Emergency Medicine (PRIM-ER) implemented in 33 Emergency Departments (EDs). This is a retrospective cohort study that seeks to measure the effect of PRIM-ER on older adults with serious illness on aspects of: 1) ED disposition to an acute setting; 2) healthcare utilization in the 6 months following the index ED visit; 3) survival following the index ED visit; and 4) determine site, provider, and patient-level characteristics that are associated with variation in impact of PRIM-ER across sites.
