Clinical Trial Summary

Individuals experiencing homelessness often have complex health and social needs. This population also faces disproportionate systemic barriers to accessing health care services and social supports, such as not having primary care providers, needing to meet other competing priorities, and difficulties affording medications. These barriers contribute to discontinuities in care, poor health outcomes, and high acute healthcare utilization after hospitalization among this population. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a case management intervention (the Navigator program) for individuals experiencing homelessness who have been admitted to hospital for medical conditions. This study will examine outcomes over a 180-day period after hospital discharge, including follow-up with primary care providers, acute healthcare utilization, quality of care transitions, and overall health.
