Brown Presents on Care Coordination at Long-Term Care Commission Hearing
Mathematica’s Randall Brown recently presented research findings on effective care coordination programs for high-risk individuals with chronic health care needs at a public hearing of the bipartisan Commission on Long-Term Care. Based on this Health Affairs article, Brown identified six common characteristics for successful care coordination that can reduce hospitalizations for high-risk patients over multiple years including frequent in-person contact (in addition to telephone contact) by care coordinators with patients and their providers, robust medication management, and comprehensive transitional care when patients are hospitalized. Brown concluded his remarks by reminding commissioners that in order to increase likelihood of success, these approaches are not one-size fits all and will need to vary across subpopulations.

For many years, Mathematica has developed, tested, and implemented a wide range of health care measures intended to promote better clinical practice thereby containing costs, while improving quality.
