A small percentage of patients comprise a high proportion of healthcare utilization, particularly the costs associated with Emergency Department (ED) visits and inpatient hospitalization readmissions. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a decrease in ED utilization and hospital readmissions in a selected group of super-utilizers post-intervention by a Community Care Coordination team and to determine cost avoidance.

Clinical guidelines are the backbone of evidence-based medical practice, shaping healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. To ensure that guidelines reflect the entire medical community, it is important that guideline-creation bodies have adequate representation from stakeholder groups with diverse viewpoints. To quantify the contribution of DOs to the body of literature guiding practice, author information was extracted from all US-based guidelines published in the years 2021, 2022, and 2023 listed in the ECRI Guidelines Trust database.
