NCT ID NCT05714605
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called THRIVE that helps Medicaid patients after a hospital stay. The program provides a home nurse visit within 48 hours, a doctor who oversees care for 30 days, and a team that coordinates social and medical needs. Researchers will compare readmission rates, emergency visits, and doctor follow-ups between patients in the program and those receiving usual care.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could reduce hospital readmissions and emergency visits for Medicaid patients, improving their recovery and lowering healthcare costs.
