Identifying Patients Suffering From Housing Instability In The Emergency Department, Jarvis D. Roberts
Identifying Patients Suffering From Housing Instability In The Emergency Department, Jarvis D. Roberts
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Homelessness is the most visible form of housing instability in the United States of America. Yet, millions of people across our nation live in unstable housing, which consists of temporary housing, shelters, outside encampments, and vehicles. Many citizens facing these types of insecurities live paycheck to paycheck and are one health crisis or emergency away from financial ruin. The COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and slow hourly wage growth have exacerbated this situation. This project aimed to construct a screening tool to identify patients suffering from housing instability in the emergency department setting and provide them with community resources.
