Our Chief Medical Officer Desh Mohan, MD summarizes a new study that associates positive, causal impact between #AdvanceCarePlanning and patient care, outcomes, and end-of-life spending. He also juxtaposes this study's findings with recent developments in healthcare: from a transition to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) V28 Model bringing risk-adjustment changes to the new CMS GUIDE Model that serves Medicare beneficiaries with dementia. Read through his post below for more details and a link to the full study! What findings stand out to you most? Let Dr. Mohan know in the comments. #newresearch #medicare #medicareadvantage #medicaid #healtheconomics #dualeligible #dementia #alzheimers #healthinnovation #goalsofcare #totalcostofcare
This recent nationwide study in the Journal of Health Economics AGAIN showed the positive, causal impact #advancecareplanning has on patient care and spending at the #endoflife. By analyzing #Medicare claims data from 2014-2018, the authors demonstrate that among decedents 12 months after an ER visit, ACP... 🏥 decreases the likelihood of dying in the hospital by 21% 🏡 increases the use of hospice care within the last 3 days of life by 18% 🏦 decreases inpatient spending by 24% 💉 decreases ICU utilization in the last 30 days by 31% 💰 and lowers total spending by 17% While this results in a $3,059 difference in total spending just in the last month of life, the authors project the savings per decedent who received ACP to be >$30,000 based on the earlier utilization of supportive care interventions like #palliativecare and #hospice. That is, in part, because individuals who received ACP enrolled in hospice 112 days earlier than those who did not receive ACP. The study further demonstrates that the impact of ACP is especially prominent among patients with cognitive impairment, specifically Alzheimer’s and related dementias, patients with heart disease, and among dual eligibles. This study is SO timely: 🧠 With the launch of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services GUIDE model (including the great work of some of our friends at InHome Connect, ianacare, and Tembo Health), incorporating high-quality ACP will be essential to delivering better care for patients with #dementia. ⚖ Historically, there have been significant disparities in access to ACP - particularly for under-represented minorities and low SES populations. These studies highlight that equitable access to ACP is key — especially given the impact ACP has for the dual-eligible population. Koda has just been recognized as The Digital Health Hub Foundation - Digital Health Awards Finalist for #healthequity. 📊 With the transition to the V28 Model, it’s harder for health plans to code their way to success - focusing on data-driven ways to improve care, quality, and effectiveness of services will be key to moving forward. 📈 And lastly, on the cusp of the recent Vizient, Inc Summit, health systems reviewing their quality metrics need to prioritize ACP given the impact it has on decreasing inpatient mortality. Doing what’s right for patients is good for business and reduces the load on our already strained healthcare system. So what do YOU think prevents systems from engaging in ACP?
