6 Objective: Identify the components of patient management in home care. HEALTHCARE REALITIES Context is Critical: Payments in most parts of the country are sector specific. Under the A win for one sector is often a loss for another sector, i.e. early discharge (hospital win) while inability to serve high risk patient (home care loss). Sectors fight (lobby) to get the maximum for their sector. Bigger, richer sectors win. Poorer (less powerful) sectors lose even if they are better and more cost effective. This culture is destined to shift; the Affordable Care Act has started its movement. HEALTHCARE IN CRISIS U.S. healthcare represents at least one-seventh of the economy with spending totaling more than $2 trillion annually. By 2017, projects $4 trillion to be spent on health care: 21% of the GDP.* Not sustainable! Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance Trust Fund had been projected to go bankrupt between 2016 and Source: 2
