Be on the lookout for our year end review articles at the beginning of 2024 and make sure you're signed up for our newsletters ([link removed] ) !

Happy Holidays!

Amy Finkelstein of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and her team of coauthors explore the results of the Camden Coalition’s Camden Core Model ([link removed] ) in the upcoming January issue of Health Affairs.

The Camden Core Model is a care coordination model which targets high-use, high-needs patients in Camden, New Jersey, and provides high-touch, appropriate care, with the ultimate goal of reducing hospitalizations, improving patient well-being, and reducing cost.

Randomized evaluations of the Camden Coalition’s program did not find evidence of reduced hospital readmissions; the authors explore explanations for this null result.

They conclude that “care coordination alone, even when implemented well, is insufficient to reduce hospitalizations for this complex population of high-needs patients.”

In the program, fellows will receive multilayered mentorship from experienced Health Affairs authors and editorial staff for eighteen months (July 2024–December 2025).
