There are many small scale things that states and organized groups can do. The big question is when will CMS stop voting 1.4 trillion against primary care, basic health access, and most Americans most behind. The entire spending design defeats what HRSA, states, academics, or other can do. When will CMS act to increase primary care spending and other basics by at least 100 billion dollars each. And who are they going to cut to generate this funding. Until then, discussions other than to organize this attack - are futile.
Investment in #primarycare is too low to support the high-quality, comprehensive care patients need. Join Primary Care Development Corporation and Milbank Memorial TOMORROW at 1PM EST to learn what states are doing to prioritize primary care and increase investment. REGISTER ⤵️

Last week The King's Fund published a new report on shifting NHS care away from hospitals and closer to people's homes. Louise Ansari our Chief Executive welcomes their calls for a focus on primary and community care, saying it is the most common area of concern for patients feeding back their experiences. "Focusing support to NHS teams to deliver care closer to home will support many people get the right help in the right place. Although some patients prefer to travel longer distances for specialist advice or for continuity of care, others prioritise speed of access. And in most cases, that will be in their local community. “As ever, there must be ongoing engagement to understand people’s preferences at each interaction with the health service, and to support a culture of listening to and involving patients as decision makers in their own care. “And ultimately, we need to see improvements made to primary and community care. This includes investment in social care reform, expanding patient transport support to non-hospital services, supporting GP teams to deliver 24/7 access to e-triage, and giving people meaningful choices at the point of booking their appointments.” https://bit.ly/4bVFbPF

“The plundering of America's hospitals” Unfortunately, the closing of these healthcare facilities severely impact low-income communities that already suffer from a lack of access to healthcare. We need to evaluate the infrastructure of our healthcare systems, especially those owned by private equity firms and for-profit investors that at any point are wiling to pull support regardless of how communities and patients are affected. https://lnkd.in/eNPYHYFp

' How wealthy investors got rich looting America's needy hospitals In community after community, the hospitals keep closing. In 2018, it was Northside Regional Medical Center in Youngstown, Ohio. In 2019, it was Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling, West Virginia, along with East Ohio Regional Hospital across the river in Martins Ferry, Ohio. That November, St. Luke's Medical Center, which had treated patients in Phoenix for more than a century, shut its doors. In 2020, as the pandemic hit, it was one in Massachusetts and another in West Virginia. Followed by four more — in California, Pennsylvania, and Texas — over the next three years. Other hospitals are teetering on the brink. In 2022, Conemaugh Nason Medical Center in Pennsylvania announced it was ending OB-GYN deliveries, leaving some mothers-to-be to travel almost an hour to give birth. Last year, Glenwood Regional Medical Center in Louisiana was ordered by the state to turn away patients because of inadequate supplies and staffing levels. In addition to their financial struggles, all of the hospitals shared three things in common. They all served low-income communities that suffered from a lack of access to healthcare. They were all owned at various points by for-profit investors, including leading private-equity firms like Cerberus, Leonard Green, and Apollo. And in a move that stripped the hospitals of one of their prime assets, the owners had sold the land beneath the facilities to a little-known real-estate investor called Medical Properties Trust. MPT, which has purchased some $16 billion of hospital real estate over the past two decades, now bills itself as one of the world's largest owners of hospital beds. For many of the hospitals, the deals proved disastrous. Once their real estate was sold to MPT, they were forced to pay rent on what had always been their own property. That added to the massive debt burdens already placed on the hospitals by their for-profit owners, deepening their financial woes. It also deprived Americans of desperately needed healthcare and put lives at risk — all while enriching some of the world's wealthiest investors.

Very interesting! The range of performance is pretty wide. The two largest for profits are most profitable, but most interesting is Baylor Scott and White, a mid-size, Texas based non-profit that is growing market share. They focus on controlling administrative costs, outpatient services and driving Health Plan and ACO expansion. Filling beds isn't the primary goal. Lots of interesting lessons in non-profit management.

Getting people home from hospital or helping them maintain their independence in their own home for longer are long-held policy goals; they also underpin our Better Care Fund (BCF) Support Programme. Home Based Intermediate Care (HBIC) is considered to be one of the most valuable investments a system can make in the pursuit of these goals, and alongside improving outcomes for people, could unlock a reduction in spend on long term care. The BCF Support Programme's Case for Home Based Intermediate Care sets out the benefits, opportunities and challenges of delivering HBIC by using evidence and learning across 19 health and care systems. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eqX6aDYt We're also holding a learning lunch on 12 June from midday to 1.00pm with Daniel Sperrin from Newton Europe, where we will look to support colleagues in understanding the key points from this report, and give practical guidance and real examples of where opportunities are being realised.
