ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on improving how doctors evaluate patients who come to the emergency room with serious psychiatric symptoms, like severe anxiety or depression. The goal is to create a clear set of guidelines for what medical tests should be done in these situations and when they should be performed. To achieve this, researchers are using a method called the Delphi process, which gathers opinions from a group of experts to reach a consensus. This study aims to make sure that all patients receive the same high-quality care, no matter where they go for treatment.
To participate in this trial, individuals need to be between the ages of 65 and 74, be proficient in English, and have experience with medical screening in emergency departments. If you qualify and decide to join, you will help shape the future of psychiatric emergency care by sharing your insights and experiences.
