Crossroads of Care: Managing Serious Illness in the Home (Session 1 of 4)

Description

With the usage of value-based care models growing, the need for home-based primary and palliative care is on the rise. In many programs across the country, though, these two models have operated separately. There is, however, an increasing need for them to work more closely together to increase access to holistic, seamless care for patients further upstream that can improve outcomes and reduce cost. During this session, Bridging the Gap with Home-Based Primary Care (first in a four-part series), you will learn more about the unique benefits of home-based primary and palliative care, the value and opportunity of bringing them together to provide a full-service solution for managing complex illness and chronic disease, and how to successfully implement a complex illness management model that incorporates both services.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, you will be able to do the following:

Describe the unique aspects of Home-Based Primary Care (HBPriC) and Home-Based Palliative Care (HBPalC), as well as the ways in which these two models of care are aligned.

Discuss the value and opportunities of bringing together HBPriC and HBPalC to provide a full-service solution for managing serious illness and chronic disease.

Identify strategies to successfully implement a complex illness management model incorporating both HBPriC and HBPalC.

Audience

This activity is primarily intended for health system leaders, payers, and administrators or providers from hospice/palliative and primary care programs that are considering adding or expanding service lines to their home-based practices.
