Quantitative Study

Employing a stepped wedge design the study would begin early March and would involve a randomized training of case managers at HUP-Cedar over several months Initially a subset of case managers receives training on the THRIVE pathway and starts offering referrals After 8 weeks the remaining case managers are trained and begin making referrals This staggered approach allows for evaluation of the THRIVE interventions rollout and its impact on patient care and outcomes
