OBJECTIVES: The Research Agenda Setting Process (RASP), part of the American Geriatric Society's (AGS's) project 'Increasing Geriatric Expertise in Surgical and Related Medical Specialties,' was designed to define a research agenda for the geriatrics aspects of participating specialties. This paper presents a summary of the research agenda for emergency medicine. METHODS: The RASP was developed by the AGS in conjunction with experts from the participating specialty organizations. A 'content expert' (CE) for each specialty developed a Medline search strategy in conjunction with RAND Health librarians. The CE reviewed the search to identify papers that were germane to research in the emergency care of older patients. The CE and a senior writing group member drafted a paper that synthesized the current literature and suggested areas for further research. A panel consisting of AGS members and emergency physicians with geriatrics expertise reviewed this paper. The research agenda was further refined at a two-day retreat. Two senior geriatricians reviewed the resulting paper. RESULTS: The Medline search for emergency medicine resulted in a list of 3,348 articles; 299 articles were pertinent and reviewed. The search for trauma resulted in a list of 1,838 articles; 133 were reviewed. Research agenda items were defined for multiple topics within geriatric emergency medicine and trauma. CONCLUSION: A research agenda for geriatric emergency medicine has been developed, using a combination of review of current literature and expert opinion.

Description

PURPOSE: Geriatric trauma patients taking preinjury anticoagulant or antiplatelet (ACAP) medications are at greater risk for delayed intracranial hemorrhage (DICH), a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Routine repeat head computed tomography (RRHCT) scans can identify DICH. Our objective was to decrease the rate of missed RRHCT in a level 1 Midwest trauma center geriatric minor trauma population on preinjury ACAP medications. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the quality improvement project was to identify the root cause of the missed RRHCTs and to implement a comprehensive solution to reduce rates of missed RRHCTs. METHODS: Medical records from before and after the intervention were evaluated. Frequencies and percentages were calculated. In addition, chi and logistic regression were utilized. The Lean Six Sigma (LSS) DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) process was used to drive process improvement. RESULTS: At baseline, 15% (41 of 267) of RRHCTs were missed. After solution implementation, missed RRHCTs dropped to 4% (2 of 50). Of the 2 that were missed, zero were clinically inappropriate misses, making the postimplementation rate effectively 0%. CONCLUSION: The LSS DMAIC process helped health care professional to facilitate improved adherence to the department's practice guideline with respect to RRHCT. Adherence with this guideline can help providers identify patients with DICH, a potentially life-threatening condition.
