Care plan after ER visit to prevent early readmissions
This study tests a “transitional care” plan for people over 75 after they leave the emergency room, aiming to reduce how soon they come back. It may help you get the right support at home and lower the risk of returning to the ER quickly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 75 years old and live at home (not in a nursing home).
- You’re seen in the emergency department for less than 48 hours before being sent back home.
- The team thinks you’re at higher risk of coming back to the ER soon (TRST score greater than 2).
- A study consent is possible right then—either you agree or a caregiver is present to help.
- You have social security coverage (as a beneficiary or a partner).

This study is testing if a short stay in a nursing home or long-term care unit can help older patients who are medically stable but not quite ready to go home after a hospital stay. It looks at how this temporary accommodation affects their recovery and return home.
This study looks at reasons why patients might need to come back to the intensive care unit (ICU) within a short time after being discharged. It may help doctors improve care and prevent early readmissions.
This study compares two programs that help older adults and their family caregivers successfully transition from the hospital back home. It aims to reduce readmissions and improve recovery by providing extra support after discharge.
This study tests a universal “screening” approach during home-based primary care visits to spot which patients may be at higher risk of problems that could require urgent care or hospital return. It may help patients and their care team catch risks earlier and adjust care sooner.
This trial looks at ways to help people 60 and older have fewer repeat ER or hospital admissions after an injury. You may be a candidate if this is your first (main) hospital admission for a traumatic injury and your care team confirms the study’s specific injury admission type.
