First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a case management program called PartnerED could help reduce unnecessary hospital stays for people with Alzheimer's disease living in assisted living facilities. Researchers worked with care managers who gave emergency room doctors real-time information and discharge support by phone and fax. The study involved over 1,300 patients and measured how well the program worked and how often it was used.
