First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way of caring for Medicare patients who are at high risk of being hospitalized. Instead of seeing different doctors in the hospital and clinic, each patient gets one doctor who cares for them in both places. The goal is to improve patient satisfaction and lower overall healthcare costs. About 2,000 patients who were hospitalized in the past year are taking part.
