Can an algorithm help ERs find patients who need food or housing?
NCT ID NCT06655974
Summary
This study tested a computer tool designed to help emergency room staff. The tool uses a statistical model to predict which adult patients are likely to have unmet social needs, like problems with housing, food, or transportation. Researchers wanted to see if giving doctors this risk score would lead to more patients being screened for these needs and referred for help, and if it changed how often patients returned to the ER.
