Comprehensive Care Community and Culture Study

Description

This randomized trial is evaluating whether socioeconomically disadvantaged Medicare patients at increased risk of hospitalization experience fewer hospitalization if those patients are offered care in: 1) ACCT, where patients receive care from different physicians in the hospital and the clinic settings and have access to nurse and social worker care coordination services, 2) CCP where patients receive care from one physician in the inpatient and outpatient settings or 3) C4P which adds screening of unmet social needs, community health worker support and arts and culture programming to CCP. The study will determine how these programs affect patient activation and engagement in care, satisfaction with care, general health and mental health, and goal attainment.
