abstract = {Sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited red blood cell
disorder, is characterized by anemia, end-organ damage,
unpredictable episodes of pain, and early mortality.
Emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations are
frequent, leading to increased burden on patients and
increased health care costs. This study assessed the effects
of a multidisciplinary care team intervention on acute care
utilization among adults with SCD. The multidisciplinary
care team intervention included monthly team meetings and
development of individualized care plans. Individualized
care plans included targeted pain management plans for
management of uncomplicated pain crisis. Following
implementation of the multidisciplinary care team
intervention, a significant decrease in ED utilization was
identified among those individuals with a history of high ED
utilization. Findings highlight the potential strength of
multidisciplinary interventions and suggest that targeting
interventions toward high-utilizing subpopulations may offer
the greatest impact.},
