Study Summary
ED GOAL is a 6-minute, motivational interviewing, advance care planning intervention. In this study, the investigators will pilot test (Part I) ED GOAL by training research nurses to demonstrate its intervention fidelity and acceptability on older adults with serious illness in the emergency department (ED). Upon demonstrating the intervention fidelity of this intervention in Part I, the investigators will collect patient-centered outcomes (Part II) of 100 older adults with serious illness after leaving the ED. Further in Part III, the investigators will conduct a survey to the participants' outpatient clinicians to find out how to optimize the care coordination from the ED to the outpatient office to facilitate advance care planning conversations.
Primary Outcome
Measure the intervention fidelity of ED GOAL Nursing administered by trained research nurses to seriously ill older adults or caregivers of patients with cognitive impairment in the ED (N=30). Trained research nurses will demonstrate intervention fidelity \>70% on a prespecified checklist.
