Summary

Aim 1: To develop and validate an Emergency Department(ED) Rasch Disability Diagnostic Tool (RDDT).

Hypothesis:

* Rasch modeling will provide an instrument with better measurement properties, including increased reliability and validity compared to currently available ED measure of disability (MOD).

Aim 2: To conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the utility of the ED-RDDT to reduce rehospitalizations in Medicare recipients visiting an urban Emergency Department for non-traumatic illness

Hypotheses:

* Compared to the standard screening tool, the ED RDDT will reduce reutilization of the hospital (ED visits, hospital admissions, or death) within 60 days of discharge.
* The ED RDDT will reduce costs to Medicare, hospitals and patients.
