Improving How Older Adults at Risk for Cardiovascular Outcomes Are Selected for Care Coordination
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Diseases, Myocardial Infarction, Atrial Fibrillation, Diabetes Mellitus, Heart Failure, Hyperlipidemias, Hypertension, Ischemic Heart Disease, Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack
In brief
This pragmatic clinical trial embedded in an accountable care organization will determine the comparative effectiveness of two approaches for assigning care coordinators to older adults at risk for cardiovascular outcomes. The hypothesis is that assigning care coordinators to older adults based on perceived need will be more effective at preventing emergency department visits and hospitalizations compared to usual care.
