Abstract
The ENCOMPASS-ED project implemented embedded health system navigation and mental health peer support to proactively engage frequent emergency department (ED) users, facilitate linkages to community services, and reduce ED overuse. This model of care is generalizable to other communities across Canada to support reductions in unnecessary and costly ED visits.
