A new case study in the Commonwealth Fund’s series Care Models for High-Need, High-Costs Patients examines the potential of the Advanced Illness Management (AIM) program to support patients as they move from intensive curative treatment to end-of-life care. Developed by Sutter Health, a nonprofit integrated delivery system in Northern California, AIM relies on nurses and social workers to engage patients, elicit and document their goals as their needs evolve, and support them in navigating physical and emotional challenges.
