In this Friday’s PCT Grand Rounds, the principal investigator of PRIM-ER, an NIH Collaboratory Trial, will share an update on the implementation of this innovative pragmatic clinical trial.
Principal investigator Dr. Corita Grudzen of the NYU Grossman School of Medicine will present “Primary Palliative Care for Emergency Medicine.” The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, January 21, at 1:00 pm eastern.
PRIM-ER, or the Primary Palliative Care for Emergency Medicine study, is a cluster randomized pragmatic trial of a multidisciplinary primary palliative care intervention that consists of education, clinical decision support, and other elements in a diverse mix of emergency departments in the United States. The intervention is intended to improve the delivery of goal-directed emergency care of older adults.
PRIM-ER is supported within the NIH Collaboratory by a cooperative agreement from the National Institute on Aging.
