On an annual basis, EMNet compiles publicly available U.S. geriatric ER data, and presents this information in findERnow. Specifically, EMNet compiled lists of geriatric ERs recognized by the Geriatric Emergency Department Collaborative or the American College of Emergency Physicians’ Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation Program.
EMNet also can provide researchers with the complete list of geriatric ERs (yes/no), linked with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Provider ID numbers. To request this list, please contact us at emnet@partners.org with a project proposal, including:
- Your name, title, and contact information
- Background information on project
- Your objective/hypothesis
- Study design, including analytic plan
- Year(s) of geriatric ER data requested
- Potential authors (including institution) of the resulting presentation or report
- Timeline for project
In any resulting presentation or report (including scientific manuscripts), please cite: Herscovici DM, Boggs KM, Swanton M, Espinola JA, Samuels-Kalow ME, Sullivan AF, Kennedy M, Camargo CA Jr. Development of a unified geriatric emergency department database, 2022 [abstract].
