This project will improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare for persons with sickle cell disease, an under-served and at risk population by implementing a co-management model of care. Many patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) receive care primarily from specialty physicians and emergency departments (ED), thus resulting in a lack of primary care and a high number of ED visits and hospitalizations. The goal is to improve PCP and SCD specialist co-management. The overall purpose of this dissemination project is to evaluate utilization data, as well as patient and provider reported outcomes associated with the dissemination of a toolbox of decision support tools to PCP's and ED providers across NC and SC.
The investigators will achieve the goals stated above through three aims.
