Providence is proud to collaborate with community partners to offer an intervention program that helps guide treatment decisions for frequent emergency department patients with chronic conditions and, in many cases, an addiction to pain medication. The Emergency Department Consistent Care Program (EDCCP) has assisted nearly 700 patients, expanded to include five hospitals in a five-county region and dramatically reduced emergency visits. This program helps provide a safety net for patients who would otherwise have nowhere to turn.
Thank you so much for helping me when I was in need.
What a great program. There is such a need for a program like this. Thanks for addressing the elephant in the room.
Excellent video–just needs some commentary from the primary care providers who end up following these patients, and/or the patients’ comments on the followup care!
