Summary

This trialwill study lupus patients at BWH to identify those at high risk of adverse outcomes, and offer intensive care management to reduce avoidable ED visits, hospitalizations and improve high quality care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for lupus patients at Brigham and Women's Hospital who've had a hospital visit or missed an appointment in the last 3 years, get their primary care there, and meet specific lupus diagnosis criteria. It's not open to those who don't speak English or Spanish.
What is being tested?
The study tests an intensive care management program (Rheum iCMP) involving a nurse manager for high-risk lupus patients. The goal is to see if it improves regular outpatient care and reduces unnecessary emergency visits and hospital stays.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a care management program rather than medication, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience changes in healthcare delivery that could affect their routine.
