BEHAVIORAL

Patient management

Aggressive patient management will be implemented by a corps of "patient manager" volunteers backed by a transportation, nutrition, and social services network. The social services professionals will work with the volunteers to establish the support needed for each patient. The volunteer managers will in turn constantly monitor that such support is addressing the patient's ability to be treated. Access to sponsored housing will be coordinated. Nutritional support will be coordinated by the Dietary department and will consist of counseling, and supplements when necessary. Provision of supplemental feeding for housed patients will be arranged.
