The sickest 5 percent of patients account for over half of health care costs. In New Jersey, the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers developed a model for identifying high-utilizers and providing them with highly coordinated care.

A one-pager describes hot spotting, findings from the coalition's work and how the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is now testing the Camden Coalition method in communities across the country.
A video shows footage of a policy briefing highlighting the work of the Coalition and expansion of the model into six AF4Q communities.
