What this Trial Is About
Liver cirrhosis is the leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality in patients with digestive disease. There are many gaps in care which contribute to a high rate of hospital readmissions (44 percent at 90 days) and inadequate quality of care. Currently, there is a lack of structured processes to initiate best practice support for medical and broader health needs of high risk patients. The cirrhosis care Alberta program (CCAB) is a 3 year multi-component quality improvement initiative which will aim to improve quality of care, reduce acute care utilization and be satisfactory to both patients and providers. Best practice support will be provided in the areas of: Evidence based management of cirrhosis, alcohol use support, frailty, advance care planning, home-hospital-home transitions including standardized outpatient monitoring and structured urgent access for rapid, on-demand outpatient assessment.
