Nurse-Led Calls Reduce Emergency Department Visits
|
9.2
Fraser Health Virtual Care ran a pragmatic quasi-randomized trial (May–Sept 2022) testing nurse-led postdischarge telephone calls among 7,091 high-risk adults (intervention n=3,911; 1,752 completed calls) to measure 7- and 30-day ED visits and readmissions. Calls significantly lowered ED visits at 7 days (adjusted IRR 0.719, 95% CI 0.617–0.837; P<.001) and 30 days (IRR 0.878, 95% CI 0.783–0.983; P=.02) but did not significantly reduce hospital readmissions.
Scoring Rationale
Large, peer-reviewed pragmatic trial demonstrating clear ED reductions; limited effect on readmissions tempers transformational impact.
