The article "Intensity of Social Needs Case Management Services and Changes in Hospital and Emergency Department Use Among Adult Medicaid Beneficiaries" was published in the Medical Care Journal. CHAMP faculty and program associates, including Timothy Brown, Hector Rodriguez, Margae Knox, Mark Fleming, and Amanda Brewster collaborated to identify the association between high- and low-intensity case management services on hospital and emergency department (ED) use among CommunityConnect patients. They found that high-intensity social needs case management may be more effective than low-intensity service at reducing health care use for individuals with non-zero use, suggesting that intensive case management may be especially helpful in supporting discharge and transitions of care.
