Declarations
:
: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.The <b>Common Assessments for Repeated Paramedic Encounters (CARPE)</b> study was a pragmatic prospective cohort study intended to evaluate a standardized assessment instrument utilized by Canadian community paramedicine home visit programs. It explored inconsistencies of case-finding for “at-risk” older adults and the limited evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions in community paramedicine by harmonizing assessment practices. The CARPE study involved pilot testing a standardized assessment instrument to investigate changes in health and social factors that drive functional decline, social isolation (leading ultimately to loss of independence) and repeated 9-1-1 emergency calls. Follow-up assessments identified changes in patient condition over time.
: The Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board approved the creation of a repository for storing and analyzing patient information for the CARPE Study, reference number 2018-1650.
