Summary

The goal of this stepped wedge pragmatic trial is to compare referral patterns and post discharge outcomes in Medicaid insured individuals discharge following a hospitalization\]. The aims are to 1) evaluate the implementation of the THRIVE clinical pathway, including feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability and 2) examine referral patterns, 30- day readmission and Emergency Department (ED) utilization patterns for participants who receive THRIVE support services. During hospitalization participants will receive a referral to home care services and will be seen by a home care nurse within 48 hours following discharge. A discharging physician or Advanced Practice Provider will maintain clinical oversight for 30 days or until the patient sees primary care provider or specialist. A Care Coordination Team conducts weekly case conferences to ensure social and health needs are being addressed for 30 days post-discharge. Researchers will compare Medicaid insured patients discharged during the study, to those receiving usual care to determine if there are differences in post-acute utilization outcomes.
