What this research studies
This project involves a conference aimed at improving care for patients who are at increased risk of hospitalization. The University of Chicago Comprehensive Care Physician Program will bring together healthcare leaders, clinicians, social service providers, and patients to discuss and share effective care delivery models. The conference will focus on strategies to enhance continuity of care between inpatient and outpatient settings, which has been shown to improve patient outcomes. Participants will engage in both in-person and virtual sessions to learn about evidence-based practices that address complex medical and social needs.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are patients who have complex medical and social needs and are at risk of frequent hospitalizations.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have complex health issues or are not at risk of hospitalization may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health outcomes and reduced hospitalizations for patients at increased risk.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that improving continuity of care can significantly enhance patient outcomes, indicating that this approach has a solid foundation of success.
