Official title
Improving Care Transitions for Complex Patients Through Decision Support
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to improve patient care and safety while decreasing ED visit rates by sending specific information about care transitions related to hospital admission and discharge and emergency department and specialty care visits to primary care practices, care managers and patients with the use of health information technology (HIT) shared across a community-based network of providers. Cycle 1 focuses on the impact of notices about ED encounters and hospitalizations derived from billing data that are sent to care managers for all 47,000 patients in the Northern Piedmont Community Care Network (NPCCN). Cycle 2 explores the impact of letters sent to patients, and care event reports sent to a patient's medical home in addition to notices sent to care managers about ED encounters, hospitalization and specialty care based on ADT (Admission Discharge Transfer) and billing data on 4,600 patients with complex health needs.
