10 Overview About the Alliance What is Home Health Care? The Future of Home Health Care

11 The Alliance 501(c)(3) non-profit research and education foundation Mission: To lead and support research and education on the value home health care can offer to patients and the U.S. health care system. Working with researchers, key experts and thought leaders, and providers across the spectrum of care, we strive to foster solutions that will improve health care in America.

12 Diverse Membership

13 What is Home Health Care?

14 Care at Home: The Spectrum IOM (Institute of Medicine) and NRC (National Research Council) The future of home health care: Workshop Summary. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press, at 5.

15 Medicare Home Health Benefit Limited Benefit for homebound, needing skilled care, and under MD plan of care Payment: Part A or B; 60-day episode HHRGs (OASIS assessment) Interdisciplinary team: nurses, therapists (PT, OT, SLP), medical social workers, home health aides.

16 Challenges Siloes in traditional Medicare program Barriers: homebound, face-to-face documentation, practice level restrictions Inadequate infrastructure for aging in place (e.g., caregiving, transport, housing, meals)

20 Analysis on Post-Acute Care Clinically Appropriate and Cost-Effective Care (CACEP) Project The Alliance commissioned Dobson DaVanzo & Associates to complete an analysis of Medicare data to determine how home health has been used in the U.S. health care system. Data suggest that clinically appropriate and cost effective placement of patients in post-acute care settings could save Medicare $100 billion over 10 years if coupled with structural changes.

21 CACEP Post-Acute Care Episodes Index Short Term Acute Care Hospital (STACH) Stay Post-acute care following an Index STACH stay 60 days after Index STACH discharge Post-acute care episodes (including Index STACH) = ~50% of FFS Spending Post-acute care (HHA, SNF, IRF, LTCH) during episodes = ~20% of FFS Spending

43 Bridging the Gap Caregivers & Aging in Place Sheena Janse, CRCFA

44

45 Aging In Place Statistics show the vast majority of Americans want to stay in their homes as they age. However, due to physical and/or cognitive changes related to aging many will require assistance to do so. That assistance is provided by a caregiver.

46 Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Paying Bills Medication Management Meal preparation Transportation Housework/Laundry Shopping Telephone

47 Activities of Daily Living 1-Ambulation 2- Bathing 3-Grooming 4-Dressing 5-Eating 6- Toileting

48 Common Issues Seniors encounter which require a caregiver 1- Nutrition 2- Medication 3- Home safety 4- Hygiene-Personal & home 5- Unaddressed medical problems

49 Caregiver A caregiver is an unpaid or paid person who helps another individual with an impairment with his or her activities of daily living. Any person with a health impairment might use caregiving services to address their difficulties. Caregiving is most commonly used to address impairments related to old age, disability, a disease, or a mental disorder.en.wikipedia.org

50 Many family caregivers experience positive feelings in providing care for a loved one.

51 Family Caregivers More than 44 million Americans are providing unpaid caregiving for an adult family member 52 % of caregivers are adult children 61% of those caregivers are working 13% percent of households are caring for both children and aging parents the so-called "sandwich generation".

52 Impact of the Sandwich Generation in the workplace Cost of being a caregiver often impacts the caregiver professionally Absenteeism due to caregiving responsibilities poor work performance presentism when employees are physically at work but mentally distracted by issues at home.

53 Cost of caregiving Loss of income Job changes to accommodate caregiving responsibilities Absence from work FMLA Decreased hours Early retirement Loss of retirement savings

54 Personal Cost of Caregiving 43% of Family Caregivers report negative effects Personal well being Health related issues Depression Increased levels of stress 55% don t feel qualified to provide physical care Genworth
