What this research studies
This research evaluates the effectiveness of Transitional Care Management (TCM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) services aimed at enhancing the health outcomes of older adults. It focuses on addressing the medical and psychosocial needs of patients, particularly those with frailty and dementia, by improving care coordination and increasing the adoption of these services. The study will analyze how these services can lead to more days spent at home, better survival rates, and reduced Medicare costs compared to usual care. A team of experts will utilize various methodologies to assess the impact of these services on older adults' health.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults, particularly those with frailty, dementia, and challenging social determinants of health.
Not a fit: Patients who are younger or do not have chronic conditions may not receive benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health outcomes and quality of life for older adults with chronic conditions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that similar patient-centered care approaches can lead to significant improvements in health outcomes for older adults.
