163 EMF Eliciting Individually Defined Outcomes and Interventions Upon Discharge from the Emergency Department

Patients are seldom engaged to elicit their primary needs or concerns during acute care episodes, often resulting in sub-optimal transitions home from the hospital due to persistently unmet patient needs. Our goal was to engage patients during an acute care visit to identify individual-defined priority outcomes and goals upon discharge from the emergency department (ED) and to identify individually tailored interventions that may be used to achieve their outcomes.
