Objective:

To evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of proactive care coordination services among older Medicare patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors.

Key Findings:
  • Only 27% of eligible patients in the intervention group accepted care management services, highlighting a significant decline in uptake.
Interpretation:

The study indicates that proactive care coordination may not be effective or acceptable for many patients, suggesting a need for more tailored approaches to care management.

Limitations:
  • Higher loss to follow-up in the intervention group may affect the reliability of the results.
Conclusion:

The findings suggest that simply offering care management may not be sufficient, as many patients prefer to coordinate their care independently.
