Two-year outcomes following the HIDOC program: expanding outpatient care delivery to meet the needs of medically complex, high-utilizing patients with a broader interprofessional care team.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
This article describes the Highly Individualized Dedicated Onsite Care (HIDOC) intensive primary care program implemented at a university clinic, comprising (a) care by an interprofessional team, (b) new logistical capacity, and (c) clinician skills training. Measured outcomes include Emergency Department (ED) visits and hospitalizations at a university and a community hospital over 2 years, using a within-subjects design. We demonstrate decreased hospitalizations at the University Hospital, and a decrease in ED visits at both sites. Team-based strategies to provide intensive primary care can decrease utilization, allowing for greater continuity of care.
