NAM looks at opportunities to improve care for high-needs patients
A new publication from the National Academy of Medicine summarizes findings from a three-part workshop series on how to improve care for the 5% of patients who account for nearly half of the nation’s health care spending. The report suggests a conceptual starter taxonomy for characterizing these high-needs patients and aligning them with successful care models for segments of this diverse population. The report also identifies barriers to the spread or sustainability of successful care models and possible actions to address them.
