The Standard Care Coordination (SCC) solution integrates aspects of case management \& care coordination \& was designed by UnitedHealth Group for high-cost, complex, at-risk consumers to facilitate health care access and decisions that can have a dramatic impact on the quality and affordability of the consumer's health care. Currently members only receive the SCC if they are: 1) identified as high risk for readmission upon discharge from the hospital, 2) are self-referred, or 3) are directly referred to the program by their physician. The current quality improvement study was designed as a randomized controlled trial to determine if the expansion of the SCC program to commercially insured members identified via a proprietary administrative algorithms as being at high risk would significantly impact rates of acute inpatient admissions.
