Health care delivery in the United States is changing at a rapid pace. Most providers realize the fee-for-service system will likely be completely replaced by a value-driven system in the near future. In keeping with this knowledge, health systems are experimenting with various models of care to find a model that will successfully address patient outcomes, patient satisfaction, and overall cost of care. Many of these models highlight the value of post-acute care services. This session discusses the driving forces for change and depicts some of the emerging models of care, including a model developed in a mid-sized health care system in Illinois. The model presented is one that emphasizes communication and collaboration across providers on transitional care, longitudinal care planning, home care and home-based services, as well as full use of the continuum of care. The model focuses on complex and/or chronically ill patients at high risk for readmission, undesired outcomes, and increased costs.
Objectives:
- Discuss driving forces for change in America’s health care delivery system
- Describe various models for providing intensive-care management to high-risk patients
- Describe the features of the complex care model presented in this session
