🚨 Are you a Medicare decision-maker? Prepare for the 2024 HEDIS Measurement Year — it's bringing pivotal updates, especially in kidney health evaluations. What’s New: At-home collection tests processed at a lab now satisfy the MY2024 Kidney Health Evaluation for Patients with Diabetes measure. Why It Matters: Chronic kidney disease is a major cost driver, burdening the U.S. with $124 billion annually. However, early detection of kidney issues can potentially slash Medicare expenses by 74%. This isn't just about cost — it's about patient outcomes. Timely intervention could mean delaying or preventing the need for dialysis in many members. 🌟 Discover how the Everly Health Kidney Health Test can close the KED HEDIS measure here: https://bit.ly/3tiXAV0 #ChronicKidneyDisease #EarlyDetection #Diagnostics #HEDIS #NCQA

Two sided risk models deliver better results. From ABC News today in Tampa: "The study, which included 300,000 older adults, found patients with COPD or Asthma were 44% less likely to be admitted to the hospital in this care model, among other benefits. It reflects the benefits that value-based care offers, including better health outcomes for patients and comprehensive services that go beyond typical fee-for-service care." The JAMA study is here: https://lnkd.in/gQxyv4PM We believe that the financial incentives are necessary to create the business case for investing in better care standardization processes, such as case simulations to reduce variation. #Valuebasedcare #twosidedrisk https://lnkd.in/gE_VXjCi

As the world ages rapidly, the number of patients with #chronicconditions is set to increase in tandem. Chronic diseases are commonly characterized by their requirement for long term follow-up with #healthcareproviders, association with #functionalimpairment or #disability, and need for holistic management of the patient. Inevitably, the uptick in chronic disease load has led to an overwhelming burden on #healthcareinfrastructure and national health expenditures. This affliction is accrued from the systematic stress precipitated by higher bed occupancies, hospital readmission numbers, and #emergencymedicine interventions. This perpetuating strain has created the catalyst to provide #chronicdiseasemanagement services for stable patients at the community level to free up health care resources at the tertiary care interface. Therefore, the defining features of #primarycare encompassing comprehensiveness, continuity, and #coordination make this setting well-equipped for community management of patients with #chronicdiseases. Importantly, shifting stable chronic cases to the primary care space for long-term management is timely and cogent. Multiple studies have elucidated that #healthservice expenditure reduction and overall more #equitablehealth outcomes are derived when patients with #chronicconditions are firmly anchored with their primary #careproviders. The findings of this study provide evidence on the capacity of the PCN to confer enhanced chronic disease management capacity to GPs by sufficiently meeting the criteria of Starfield’s “4Cs” through the provision of a suite of #ancillaryservices, heightened financial and physical accessibility to services at GP clinics, manpower to coordinate between practices and liaise with patients for follow-up and a registry to ensure care processes are diligently fulfilled.

On #WorldDiabetesDay, we turn the spotlight on a silent yet pervasive challenge: prediabetes. In the U.S., approximately 96 million are grappling with this condition. Among them, an overwhelming 80% remain undiagnosed. These numbers aren't mere statistics; they represent a myriad of missed interventions, and a call to action for proactive healthcare. 🔍 But why the widespread lack of diagnosis? With primary care visits averaging just 17.4 minutes and over 100 million Americans going without a primary care provider, the system falls short. Even if diagnosed, what is the standard of care for #prediabetes, and can we rely on it's effectiveness? We all know someone grappling with type 1, type 2, or prediabetes, be it a friend or family member. Yet most people aren't sure what the differences really are. How is something so common, so elusive? The traditional system hasn't provided answers, leaving both patients and providers in the dark about diabetes risk and treatment. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aptly summarizes the challenge: "Prediabetes, Your Chance to Prevent Diabetes." At this crucial moment, PreventScripts steps in like a trusted friend, ready to transform this opportunity into tangible health outcomes. Our mission: helping providers implement early detection, actionable care plans, and patient education programs to foster lasting, healthy habits for their patients.

It’s great to see promising evidence supporting CMS’ Hospital-at-Home waiver program! A recent study in JAMA Health Forum reveals that patients receiving at-home hospital care under the waiver experienced low mortality rates and minimal complications. Only 7.20% of patients were transferred back to the hospital, and 0.34% died unexpectedly. Xtelligent Healthcare Media shares detailed findings: https://bit.ly/4adwJdn We’re looking forward to reviewing the comprehensive study results due Sept. 30, 2024! #hospitalathome #CMS #homehealthcare #remotecare #virtualcare
