The study assessed correlates of emergency department use among participants in a collaborative care program for bipolar disorder.
Community-based clinics from two states implemented Life Goals-Collaborative Care (LG-CC), an evidence-based model that includes self-management sessions and care management contacts. Logistic regression determined participant factors associated with emergency department use between six and 12 months after LG-CC implementation.
Of 219 participants with baseline and 12-month data, 24% reported at least one emergency department visit. Participants with a recent homelessness history (odds ratio [OR]=3.76, p=.01) or five or more care management contacts (OR=2.62, p=.05) had a higher probability of visiting an emergency department, after the analyses were adjusted for demographic and clinical factors, including physical health score and hospitalization history.
Participants in a collaborative care program who had a history of homelessness were more likely to use the emergency department, suggesting a greater need for more intensive care coordination.
本研究评估了双相情感障碍协作护理项目参与者中急诊科使用情况的相关因素。
来自两个州的社区诊所实施了生活目标协作护理(LG-CC),这是一种基于证据的模式,包括自我管理课程和护理管理联系。逻辑回归确定了与LG-CC实施后6至12个月内急诊科使用情况相关的参与者因素。
在219名有基线和12个月数据的参与者中,24%报告至少有一次急诊科就诊。在对人口统计学和临床因素(包括身体健康评分和住院史)进行分析调整后,近期有过无家可归史的参与者(优势比[OR]=3.76,p=0.01)或有五次或更多护理管理联系的参与者(OR=2.62,p=0.05)去急诊科就诊的可能性更高。
有过无家可归史的协作护理项目参与者更有可能使用急诊科,这表明更需要加强护理协调。
