Emergency Department Staff Perceptions of Emergency Department Interventions for Frailty (EDIFY)

We refer to our article entitled “Emergency Department Interventions for Frailty (EDIFY): Front-Door Geriatric Care Can Reduce Acute Admissions.”1 Although we have described clinical effectiveness of the EDIFY program, a deeper appreciation of emergency department (ED) staff perceptions of geriatric care and support was needed to ascertain overall quality of the program. EDIFY was designed for the dual purpose of reducing the number of potentially avoidable acute admissions and delivering interprofessional geriatric interventions through comprehensive geriatric assessments, and promoting awareness and education on frailty.
