A pharmacy liaison-patient navigation intervention to reduce inpatient and emergency department utilization among primary care patients in a Medicaid accountable care organization: A pragmatic trial protocol.

To determine whether employing the services of a pharmacy liaison to promote medication adherence (usual care), relative to a pharmacy liaison with training in motivational interviewing and as a patient navigator who systematically screens for health-related social needs and provides targeted navigation services to connect patients with appropriate community resources in partnership with a community-based organization (enhanced usual care), will reduce inpatient hospital admissions and emergency department visits among patients who are members of a Medicaid ACO and receive primary care at a large urban safety-net hospital.
