Genuine healthcare reform must be designed by healthcare professionals for successful clinical outcomes and financial sustainability. In our position as providers of healthcare services in the home, we have a unique perspective on the strengths and weaknesses of our current system. We also have a strong commitment to patient-focused care that drives our operations on a daily basis.
The greatest problem in healthcare today is we are attempting to manage the rapidly increasing incidence of long-term chronic conditions - such as diabetes, heart failure, high blood pressure, etc. - in short-term care settings like hospitals and doctor’s offices. The current system was never designed to do that, and the result is constantly rising costs and less than desirable outcomes for patients.
We have published two white papers that describe our vision for healthcare reform:
- Healthcare Promise™, describes changes to the delivery system that could save money, expand coverage and improve care. Click here to read or download this document.
- A Bridge to the Future is the business case for homecare agencies to make chronic care management the focus of their future as a means to transform the current system. Click here to read or download this document.
