In a journal article published by the American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC), our research team members detail the results of an analysis of our randomized controlled trial (RCT) study data to determine if intervention dosage (the amount of time care team members spent interacting with and coordinating care for participants) was associated with hospital readmission rates.

We found that a higher intervention dosage was associated with a lower hospital readmission rate at 30 and 90 days post-enrollment, but that there was no statistically significant difference at 180 days. In the paper, we discuss how the study results point to important gaps in how care management programs for patients with complex health and social needs are evaluated.
