It's great fun, and its packed with amazing performances especially from the multi-talented and beautiful Julie Andrews.

Oversight will also be provided by the National Institutes of Health, an Independent Monitoring Committee and a Clinical Informatics Advisory Board. Institutional Review Board approval was obtained at New York University School of Medicine to evaluate the CMS data. Analysis will also determine the site, provider and patient-level characteristics that are associated with variation in impact of PRIM-ER. Using Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data, we will assess the primary outcomes in approximately 300 000 patients: ED disposition to an acute care setting, healthcare utilisation in the 6 months following the ED visit and survival following the index ED visit. The study is divided into two phases: a pilot phase, to ensure feasibility in two sites, and an implementation and evaluation phase, where we implement the intervention and test the effectiveness in 33 EDs over 2 years. The intervention includes four core components: (1) evidence-based, multidisciplinary primary palliative care education (2) simulation-based workshops (3) clinical decision support and (4) audit and feedback. This is the protocol for a pragmatic, cluster-randomised stepped wedge trial to test the effectiveness of PRIM-ER in 35 EDs across the USA.

This study aims to implement and evaluate Primary Palliative Care for Emergency Medicine (PRIM-ER) on ED disposition, healthcare utilisation and survival in older adults with serious illness. Palliative care interventions in the ED capture high-risk patients at a time of crisis and can dramatically improve patient-centred outcomes.
