NYC Health + Hospitals, the city’s public hospital system, has run a care-management program in six of its emergency departments, aimed in part at getting more patients into stable primary-care programs and reducing the number of unneeded visits to emergency rooms.
The country’s largest municipal health system started the pilot program in September 2014 under a grant from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.
Over three years, the system enrolled more than 94,000 emergency patients in the care-management intervention, according to a NEJM Catalyst post.
