Tom Robertson, Executive Director of the Vizient Research Institute is joined by Alison Brown, President of the University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus in Baltimore. Alison describes a number of hospital initiatives that evolved in response to atypical provider incentives arising from Maryland’s unique payment system, most recently including global spending budgets. From interdisciplinary rounds and transitional care teams to coordinated post-discharge care for chronically ill and socioeconomically vulnerable populations, Alison shares experiences viewing patient needs through both an “inside-out” and an “outside-in” lens. The conversation turns to an innovative Maryland program involving “peer recovery coaches” to assist emergency patients battling substance abuse. Tom extends that concept by describing a conceptual patient navigation volunteer program that he calls the “Elder Corps”.
