Summary

This trial will study whether two different models of healthcare delivery for people with disabilities improve health outcomes while reducing cost.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people with disabilities such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, and spina bifida. Participants should be eligible for the Community Partners program or aged 55-64 and eligible for the Community LIFE program.

What is being tested?

The study tests two community-based wellness programs aimed at improving health outcomes, patient care experience, and reducing healthcare costs (the 'Triple Aim'). One is a non-profit's care management program; the other adapts an eldercare model (PACE) for younger disabled adults.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves wellness programs rather than medical treatments or drugs, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience changes in lifestyle or stress levels due to new routines established by these programs.
