Study Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the feasibility of eGAPcare, a telehealth modification of the GAPcare fall prevention intervention, in older adults in a community emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Can telehealth physical therapy and pharmacy consultations be conducted in a community emergency department?
- Does the telehealth modification of GAPcare decrease recurrent falls at 6 months? Participants will
- Receive telehealth physical therapy and pharmacy consultation while in the emergency department
- Participate in follow-up visits over the phone for 6 months following the initial emergency department visit
- Complete study questionnaires delivered by study staff.
