Season 01 Episode 03 - Effective Care for High-Need Patients

In this episode, team members from CAIPER (Gerri Lamb, Michael Moramarco, and Jinnette Senecal) and special guests Peter Long (President and CEO, Blue Shield of California Foundation) and Chris Barreto (Medical Social Worker, Dignity Health Center for Transitional Care) explore the 2017 National Academy of Medicine special publication on Effective Care for High-Need Patients. We discuss the various models highlighted in the report, and gain an on-the-ground perspective on the numerous ways that interprofessional practice and education provides a set of strategies for caring for high-needs patients. With Peter’s in-depth knowledge of the major models and Chris’ clinical experience, the conversation moves seamlessly from the theoretical to the practical when talking about how we care for high-needs patients in America, and specifically Phoenix, Arizona, today. This is an important conversation right now, as we know that the top 5% of health care users in the country are accounting for almost 50% of the resources. Listen in to hear how stories from practice and the report’s hard data align to light a path forward in serving some of our most vulnerable patients.
