Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Ambulatory Care Coordinator Team (ACCT)Active Control1 Intervention
Patients randomized to ACCT receive care from different doctors in clinic and in the hospital. ACCT patients who have been hospitalized twice, had 4 emergency department (ED) visits in the last year or are referred by their primary care physician are offered ACCT care coordination services (ACCT-CC) from nurses and social workers who manage their care with the larger clinical team. Patients are graduated from ACCT if the ACCT team thinks they are no longer high risk.
Group II: Comprehensive Care Physician (CCP)Active Control1 Intervention
Patients randomized to the CCP group are assigned to a Comprehensive Care Physician and are asked to see their assigned CCP for their primary care. The patients receive their care from the same CCP in the outpatient clinic and also if they were to be hospitalized.
Group III: Comprehensive Care, Community & Culture Program (C4P)Active Control1 Intervention
Patients randomized to C4P receive care from a CCP in both the hospital and the clinic as well as the following: 1) systematic screening of 17 domains of unmet social needs, 2) access to a community health worker and 3) access to community-based arts and culture programming.
