Actual (reported)Mi Puente (or "My Bridge") is a culturally-tailored, interdisciplinary approach designed to support at-risk Hispanic patients and their caregivers pre- and post-hospital discharge as they navigate the multi-level barriers that contribute to inequities in health care access and use, and in turn, perpetuate disparities in cardiometabolic and behavioral health. Mi Puente utilizes a sustainable nurse + volunteer peer team-based model, bridging partnership between inpatient and outpatient care settings to meet the integrated (i.e., physical and behavioral) health needs of Hispanics who are hospitalized with multiple chronic cardiometabolic conditions and one or more behavioral health concern(s). Participants will be tested at Scripps Mercy Hospital - a large, non-profit, safety net hospital located in the US/Mexico border region of South San Diego County, California. The proposed randomized controlled trial will test Mi Puente versus Usual Care (evidence-based, best practice discharge procedures) in improving hospital utilization, patient-reported, and cost effectiveness outcomes. Electronic medical records (EMR) will be used to identify eligible patients and examine primary outcomes.

The study may not have captured all readmissions since there are many regional hospitals. Other evolving approaches, such as the use of statewide health information exchanges, may improve ascertainment in future research. We did not delineate preventable from nonpreventable readmissions and did not have information on readmission acuity. Although some hospitalizations may have occurred due to COVID-19, it is likely that this affected both groups equally.
