{"title":"Why Hospitals and Payers are Recommending Home Care Upon Discharge Instead of SNF or Traditional Home Health Services--Alternative Payment Model Hospital Incentives Aligning with Patient Choice.","authors":"Josh Luke","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Seniors and other hospital patients in the United States have traditionally had the option of being discharged to a skilled nursing facility (convalescent home) for post-acute services, or home with nursing and therapy services provided in the home setting. Traditionally, these home based services have been referred to as \"home health.\" As more Americans have retired, home health services have expanded and are readily accessible. This growth put tremendous stress on the Medicare fund which pays for senior care services. However, \"Home Care,\" which traditionally has been viewed as non-medical home based services, has also become a booming industry for the cost conscious in recent years as more Americans reach retirement age. With the passing of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, providers and payers are now finding themselves responsible for post-acute care and continuous patient health, so cost efficient solutions for post-acute care are thriving. For the first time in history, American hospitals and Insurers are recognizing Home Care as an effective model that achieves the Triple Aim of Health Care reform. Home Care, which is no longer completely non-medical services, has proven to be an integral part of the care continuum for seniors in recent years and is now becoming a viable solution for keeping patients well, while still honoring their desire to age and heal at home. This paper analyzes the benefits and risks of home care and provides a clear understanding as to why American hospitals are emphasizing SNF Avoidance and skipping home health, opting instead to refer patients directly to home care as the preferred discharge solution in a value based model.</p>","PeriodicalId":80252,"journal":{"name":"World hospitals and health services : the official journal of the International Hospital Federation","volume":"52 1","pages":"33-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34393099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Driving Innovation in Low Resource Settings. 在低资源环境下推动创新。

Initiative aims to address this issue by delivering quality health service to people around the world whilst minimizing costs. Access to affordable medical technology is a cornerstone to this initiative. Consequently, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has developed the 'Compendium of Innovative Technologies for Low-Resource Settings' in order to highlight 127 innovations that could help to address these health issues. In low resource settings, the lack of reliable infrastructure can limit the success of medical devices, but it is clear that technology developed specifically for these settings, could have a more sustained impact. The 'Feasibility Tool' was designed by the WHOR to quantitatively analyse whether a medical device could be successfully implemented in a particular setting. The WHO has taken steps towards establishing criteria to encourage medical device innovation for appropriate and affordable technologies and local production of basic products, when feasible, in low resource settings. It is evident that encouraging this paradigms shift in our perception of medical technology development and manufacture will benefit healthcare systems around the world.</p>","PeriodicalId":80252,"journal":{"name":"World hospitals and health services : the official journal of the International Hospital Federation","volume":"52 3","pages":"7-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36967912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The health service delivery system in Kenya is organized across six levels of care with the national referrals hospitals at the apex. The population of this study comprised two national referral hospitals in Kenya, namely Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. Qualitative data analysis was done using one-tailed test to establish regression co-efficient at 95% confidence interval and qualitative data was subjected to content analysis. Application of descriptive statistics involving mean within a Likert scale was used. The critical drivers in the implementation of quality healthcare strategies included strategic plan, service delivery charter, vision admission. Other implementation drivers were effective quality improvement teams, staff commitment, availability of human and physical resources, and specific programmatic interventions at the functional units.
