- Abstract
This suggests that the benefits of engagement with ACT may persist; however, ongoing ACT involvement for patients who frequently touch the healthcare system may be beneficial. For patients ever seen by ACT during a 5-year period (October 2014-2019), we calculated the frequencies of consults, diagnosis codes, and 30-day readmission rates. METHODS In 2014, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) started an inpatient addiction consult team (ACT) consisting of a rotating group of addiction medicine and psychiatry physicians, advanced practice nurses, social workers, recovery coaches, and trainees.
