在新泽西州的卡姆登——和许多城市地区一样——医疗费用集中在不成比例的少数患者身上。这些“超级利用者”通常患有多种慢性疾病,加上社会障碍,使他们难以获得和协调管理这些疾病并保持健康所需的护理。卡姆登医疗保健提供者联盟成立于2002年,致力于为城市弱势群体改革医疗保健系统的质量、能力和可及性。
In Camden, New Jersey--as in many urban areas--health care costs are concentrated in a disproportionately small number of patients. These "super-utilizers" typically have multiple chronic conditions combined with social barriers that make it hard to access and coordinate the care they need to manage these conditions and stay healthy. Launched in 2002, the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers strives to reform the quality, capacity, and accessibility of the health care system for the city's vulnerable populations.
