CCP Trial Summary

This trial proposes a new model of care in which high-risk patients are seen by a physician who coordinates their care in the hospital and clinic. The investigators estimate that this model will be economically viable and clinically valuable for the patient.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Medicare recipients who have been hospitalized at least once in the past year and are considered high risk for future hospitalizations. The goal is to provide these patients with a dedicated physician who manages their care both during hospital stays and outpatient clinic visits.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new care model where high-risk patients receive integrated inpatient and outpatient services from the same physician, aiming to reduce hospitalizations and costs. Five physicians will each manage about 200 patients, focusing on continuity of care.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a new model of healthcare delivery rather than a medication or medical procedure, there aren't traditional side effects. However, changes in care coordination could impact patient satisfaction, access to care, or health outcomes.

CCP Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Comprehensive CareExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients randomized to the Comprehensive Care group are assigned to a Comprehensive Care physician and are asked to see their assigned CCP for their primary care. The patients will receive their care by the CCP in the outpatient clinic and also if they were to be hospitalized.
Group II: Standard of CareActive Control1 Intervention
If patients are randomized to standard of care, they are not assigned to a Comprehensive Care Physician. They are asked to continue receiving their care as they normally would.
