Piloting a new care model for pain patients and other hospital super utilizers
To reduce unnecessary hospital utilization, a multidisciplinary team launched a pilot in October 2022 to provide high touch coordinated care to 10 inpatient super utilizers. Common features of this group include chronic pain (3), chronic opioid usage (3), and addiction (2).
