ALERT-ED: Awareness and Linkage to Resources for At-Risk Emergency Department Patients

This study, called ALERT-ED, is looking at a new way to help older adults who are at high risk of falling. Falls are a major reason why older adults visit the emergency department (ED), and many don't know about programs that can help prevent falls. This study will test if giving patients a link to the Livi Chatbot in their After Visit Summary (a document you get after an ED visit) can help reduce how often they come back to the ED for fall-related injuries. You can join if you are 65 or older and are identified as high risk for falls during your ED visit. The study will measure success by seeing if fewer people have fall-related ED visits after 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear, but the study plans to enroll 20,700 people.
