eGAPcare for Fall Prevention in Older Adults

This study is testing a program called eGAPcare, which uses telehealth (care provided remotely, like over the phone or video) to help prevent falls in older adults. It's a modified version of an existing fall prevention program. You might be able to join if you are 65 or older, live in the community, and recently visited the emergency department (ED) after a fall that wasn't caused by a serious illness or external force. The study wants to see if telehealth physical therapy and pharmacy consultations can be done in the ED and if eGAPcare can reduce how often people fall again within 6 months. This study plans to enroll 40 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It aims to enroll 40 participants.
What's involved
You would receive telehealth physical therapy and pharmacy consultation while in the emergency department. You would also participate in follow-up phone calls for 6 months and complete study questionnaires.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 6 months after their initial emergency department visit to track falls and healthcare usage.
