Improving care transitions for older emergency department (ED) patients may result in more effective and efficient health care utilization. To examine the impact of an ED-based transitional care nurse (TCN) on hospital utilization. Prospective observational cohort. 3 United States (NY, IL, NJ) EDs from 1/1/13 – 6/30/15 57,287 unique ED patients age 65+. The intervention was first TCN contact for a unique patient. Control patients were never seen by a TCN during the study period. We examined sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with both TCN use and outcomes. The primary outcome was inpatient admission during the index ED visit (admission on Day 0). Secondary outcomes included cumulative 30-day admission (any admission on Days 0–30), and 72 hour ED revisits. 5,930 (10%) patients were seen by a TCN and 42% were admitted. After accounting for observed selection bias using entropy balance, results showed that compared to patients discharged without a 72-hour ED revisit, TCN was associated with reduced risk of admission (site 1: −9.9% risk of inpatient admission (95% CI = −12.3%, −7.5%), site 2: −16.5% (−18.7%, −14.2%), site 3: −4.7% (−7.5%, −2.0%)). TCN patients had increased risk of 72-hour ED revisits for two sites (site 1: 1.5% (0.7%, 2.3%), site 2: 1.4% ( 0.7%, 2.1%)). Risk of any admission within 30 days of the index ED visit remained reduced for sites 1 and 2 (site 1: −7.8% (−10.3%, −5.3%), site 2: −13.8% (−16.1%, −11.6%)). Targeted evaluation by geriatric ED transitions of care staff may be an effective delivery innovation to reduce risk of inpatient admission.
