Enriched Medical Home Intervention Using Community Health Worker Home Visitation and ED Use

摘要

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Community health workers (CEIWs) have great potential to extend medical home services and reduce emergent health care use, but evidence in pediatrics is scarce. We evaluated the impact of an existing enriched medical home intervention (EMHI) that directly integrates CHWs into emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations for pediatric ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSCs).
