Outreach-ER: A Dementia Care Intervention Program
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a feasibility/pilot, prospective cohort study to determine how to implement and refine Outreach-ER intervention for a larger clinical study. A key feature of Outreach-ER is to reach out to people living with dementia (PLWD) and their families following an emergency room visit or hospitalization. The outcome of this study will help in the overall goal of studying the impact of Outreach-ER in a larger clinical study and focus on outcomes relevant to PLWD and their care partners.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of attempted recruits for feasibility and acceptability of Outreach-ER [through study completion, an average of 1.5 years]
Number of potential participants contacted. Higher number indicates higher number of attempts as recruitment.
- Recruitment rate for feasibility and acceptability of Outreach-ER [through study completion, an average of 1.5 years]
Percentage of participants who enroll and consent [range: 0-100%]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
- Participant rate for feasibility and acceptability of Outreach-ER [through study completion, an average of 1.5 years]
Percentage of participants who start Outreach-ER program [range: 0-100%]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
- Completion rate for feasibility and acceptability of Outreach-ER [through study completion, an average of 1.5 years]
Percentage of participants who complete intervention (7 or more visits) [range: 0-100%]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
- Session specific completion rate for feasibility and acceptability of Outreach-ER [through study completion, an average of 1.5 years]
Percentage of participants who complete each intervention visit [range: 0-100%]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
- Questionnaire specific response rate for feasibility and acceptability of Outreach-ER [through study completion, an average of 1.5 years]
Percentage of participants who complete each questionnaire [range: 0-100%]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Completeness of specific measures for feasibility and acceptability of Outreach-ER [through study completion, an average of 1.5 years]
Percentage of care partners that respond to all of the items on each scale [range: 0-100%]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
