Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Text Messaging
Receives text messages to remind of upcoming follow-up appointment with primary care doctor. Also provides opportunity for subjects to text ED staff for follow-up care concerns or to reschedule primary care appointment.
Text Messaging
To communicate with intervention patients after discharge from the ED, we will use a bidirectional text messaging service provided by another physician's research group within the University of Iowa. The nurse navigator will enter the patient's study identification number, first and last name and cell phone onto a secure study website established by this research group.
Patients will, as previously mentioned, have had their cell phone number tested in the text messaging system prior to leaving the Emergency Department (this includes the control group).
Patient's will receive a text message 3 days, and 1 day, prior to their scheduled follow-up appointment with Family Medicine (this appointment having been scheduled through the Emergency Department Nurse Navigators). Each text message will remind the patient of the date/time of their appointment, and provide them a link containing a map with the location of their appointment.
Usual Care
Received usual care including follow-up phone calls if clinically indicated.
No interventions assigned to this group
