Interventions to Improve Emergency Department-Related Transitions in Care for Adult Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter.

Background: Patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) with acute atrial fibrillation or flutter undergo numerous transitions in care (TiC), including changes in their provider, level of care, and location. During transitions, gaps in communications and care may lead to poor outcomes.

Objective: We sought to examine the effectiveness of ED-based interventions to improve length of stay, return to normal sinus rhythm, and hospitalization, among other critical patient TiC outcomes.
