Overview
Brief Summary
This is a feasibility/pilot, prospective cohort study to determine how to implement and refine Outreach-ER intervention for a larger clinical study. A key feature of Outreach-ER is to reach out to people living with dementia (PLWD) and their families following an emergency room visit or hospitalization. The outcome of this study will help in the overall goal of studying the impact of Outreach-ER in a larger clinical study and focus on outcomes relevant to PLWD and their care partners.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Attempted Recruits for Feasibility and Acceptability of Outreach-ER
Time Frame: 4 months
Number of potential participant/care partner dyads contacted. Higher number indicates higher number of attempts as recruitment.
Recruitment Rate for Feasibility and Acceptability of Outreach-ER
Time Frame: 4 months
Percentage of participant/care partner dyads who enroll and consent \[range: 0-100%\]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
Participant Rate for Feasibility and Acceptability of Outreach-ER
Time Frame: First day of intervention
Percentage of participant/care partner dyads who start Outreach-ER program \[range: 0-100%\]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
Completion Rate for Feasibility and Acceptability of Outreach-ER
Time Frame: about 4 months
Percentage of participant/care partner dyads who complete intervention (7 or more visits) \[range: 0-100%\]. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
Session Specific Completion Rate for Feasibility and Acceptability of Outreach-ER
Time Frame: about 4 months
Percentage of participant/care partner dyads who complete each intervention visit \[range: 0-100%\]. Number of total intervention visits completed = total completed visits for the 4 dyads. Number of total intervention visits available = 6 visits x 4 dyads = 24 visits. Number of total intervention visits completed/24 total intervention visits x 100 = percentage. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
Questionnaire Specific Response Rate for Feasibility and Acceptability of Outreach-ER
Time Frame: about 4 months
Percentage of participant/care partner dyads who complete each questionnaire \[range: 0-100%\]. Number of total questionnaires completed = total completed questionnaires for the 4 dyads. Number of total questionnaires available = 3 questionnaires x 4 dyads x 2 visit time points = 24 available questionnaires. Number of total questionnaires completed/24 total questionnaires available x 100 = percentage. Higher number indicates more feasibility.
Secondary Outcomes
- Completeness of Specific Measures for Feasibility and Acceptability of Outreach-ER(about 4 months)
