The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette mentioned a study published in the September 2018 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®), “High-Touch Care Leads to Better Outcomes and Lower Costs in a Senior Population.” The study concluded that a high-touch preventive model providing frequent and easy access to primary, specialty, pharmacy, and ancillary care can improve healthcare utilization and reduce healthcare costs in a senior population in spite of a higher frequency of outpatient visits.
