At risk for what? Another fall? More depression? Ugh.

One of my relatives was recently in hospital and needed care coordination. Part of the intake was a CMS-mandated question asking if they ever felt lonely even when around family and friends? What?

Great question. Not something that needs (1) asked without immediate follow-up depending on answer (2) asked without MEANINGFUL follow-up and not just meds and (3) to be enshrined in an EMR. Oh, and (4) may or may not be appropriate to ask IN FRONT OF said family.
