Abstract

Healthcare costs are driven largely by a group of high-utilizers who constitute 5% of the population but account for about 50% of expenditures. A Grady Hospital-based intervention was created to engage Atlanta's high-utilizers with teams of interprofessional students in addressing non-medical concerns that contribute to frequent utilization.
