Background: 5% of patients account for the majority of healthcare spend, but standardized interventions for this complex population struggle to generate return on investment. The aim of this study is the development and proof of concept of an adaptive intervention to reduce cost and risk of readmission for medically high-risk individuals with any behavioral health diagnosis.
Methods: A behaviorally-oriented, personalized care service was delivered using a consultative, team-based approach including a physician, counselor, dietitian and social worker in collaboration with nurse care coordinators.
