Résumé

The Thrive program is an evidenced-based care model for Medicaid-insured adults in the hospital-to-home transition. A substantial portion of Thrive participants live with serious mental illness (SMI), yet Thrive's efficacy has not been tested among these patients. To compare 30-day postdischarge outcomes between Thrive participants with and without SMI and explore Thrive's appropriateness and acceptability among participants with SMI. We conducted a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study of 252 (62 with SMI) Thrive participants discharged from an academic medical center from February 2021 to August 2023. Interviews of participants with SMI were analyzed using rapid qualitative analysis. Participants with and without SMI experienced similar rates of 30-day readmissions, emergency room visits, and postdischarge follow-up visits, with these differences being nonsignificant. Participants with SMI were highly satisfied with Thrive's care coordination and attention to social needs, yet participants suggested stronger connections to behavioral health care. Participants with and without SMI benefit equitably from Thrive.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The Thrive program is an evidenced-based care model for Medicaid-insured adults in the hospital-to-home transition. A substantial portion of Thrive participants live with serious mental illness (SMI), yet Thrive's efficacy has not been tested among these patients.
PURPOSE OBJECTIVE
To compare 30-day postdischarge outcomes between Thrive participants with and without SMI and explore Thrive's appropriateness and acceptability among participants with SMI.
METHODS METHODS
We conducted a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study of 252 (62 with SMI) Thrive participants discharged from an academic medical center from February 2021 to August 2023. Interviews of participants with SMI were analyzed using rapid qualitative analysis.
RESULTS RESULTS
Participants with and without SMI experienced similar rates of 30-day readmissions, emergency room visits, and postdischarge follow-up visits, with these differences being nonsignificant. Participants with SMI were highly satisfied with Thrive's care coordination and attention to social needs, yet participants suggested stronger connections to behavioral health care.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Participants with and without SMI benefit equitably from Thrive.
