It’s critical that we continue to advocate for hospital-at-home services. Not only does it drive down the cost of healthcare, it allows patients to receive care in the comfort of their home. Let’s keep the conversation going! Check out and share the article below to help spread the word.

Value based healthcare is a necessary component of our healthcare system. Providing care to polychronic patients demands coordination focused on improved patient outcomes, mostly by reducing unnecessary and uncoordinated care. Value based care adoption continues with our standard way of measuring benefits against traditional Medicare no longer meaningful. Cost containment, improved outcomes and improved patient experience continue to be the goals. New benchmarks are needed to measure healthcare’s journey over this last mile of the journey, which is often the most difficult.

Delegating care management for Managed Medicaid can lead to improved patient outcomes and cost savings. By entrusting care management and administrative functions to experts, practices and providers can enhance whole-person care and increase capacity.

In 2021, the CMS Innovation Center outlined a bold new strategy for the next decade of value-based care: achieving equitable outcomes through high-quality, affordable, person-centered care. By 2030, all Medicare fee-for-service and the vast majority of Medicaid beneficiaries will be part of care models that focus on accountability for quality and total cost of care.
