Value Driven Healthcare and Geriatric Medicine: Implications for Today's Changing Health System: Bestsellers și noutăți cărți Geriatrie

Autor James S. Powers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mai 2018
Value driven healthcare is the lasting legacy of the Affordable Care Act, which had three goals:  to improve access to healthcare by increasing healthcare insurance coverage, to  improve the patient’s experience and quality of care, and to slow the rate of increase in healthcare costs.  Regardless of changes to the financing of healthcare or changes in policy, value-based purchasing for healthcare is to remain a constant feature of the healthcare horizon.  Value-based purchasing is a demand side strategy to reward quality in health care delivery.  Value-based purchasing involves cost considerations and includes the actions of employers, the public sector, health plans, and individual consumers in making healthcare decisions.  Effective health care services and high performing health care providers are incentivized to provide quality outcomes and to control cost.  Value-based purchasing drives quality metrics which are publicly reported and serve as important levers for changes in healthcare delivery.
 Geriatric patients consume a disproportionate share of healthcare resources, so CMS directs Medicare and drives geriatric healthcare models.  All other insurers generally model CMS/Medicare guidelines.  Innovative geriatric care models which demonstrate improved outcomes and cost moderation are scaled and lessons learned used to create new healthcare models. The best data for broader value driven healthcare comes from the geriatric models, which currently have the best data available.
 This book traces the origins of value-based purchasing and current geriatric care models and synthesizes their implications for today's changing health system.  It also discusses healthcare accountability and risk sharing.  The audience includes geriatric healthcare professionals, but also a wider audience interested in broader healthcare models and value driven healthcare from a policy, economic, and ethical perspective.  These include primary care physicians, specialists who work with aging patients, hospital administrators, healthcare educators, healthcare organizations, and all medical professionals working with aging patients and patients affected by healthcare reform.

Dr. Powers is Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and Associate Clinical Director at the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, Geriatrics Research Education and Clinical Center (TVHS GRECC), Nashville TN.  He is Geriatrics Fellowship Program Director.  The views expressed are his own and based on his experience of over three decades developing evaluating, and sustaining geriatric healthcare models and educational programs throughout the Mid-South.  The main premise of this book is that value-based purchasing for healthcare is likely to remain a constant for the foreseeable future despite any changes in the financing of healthcare.  The second is that value-based purchasing drives quality metrics which are important levers for changes in healthcare delivery.  Dr. Powers focuses on quality improvement and evaluating educational and clinical outcomes, maintains a large practice and teaches geriatrics to healthcare professionals of all disciplines.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book traces the origins of value-based purchasing and current geriatric care models to deliver value in the broader healthcare system.  The text focuses on the three goals that are expected to remain at the center of healthcare: improving access to healthcare via insurance coverage, improving the patient’s experience and quality of care, and effectively managing healthcare costs.  Chapters cover the quality indicators of care, drivers for improved outcomes, and models of care as seen in geriatrics as they can be expanded upon for the larger system.  The text also discusses some of the most critical periods for aging patients and the ways that these lessons can inform the larger system.  These topics include transitioning from the hospital to the home setting, integrating care between geriatric workers, and staff training and the clinical pearls for all changing demographics.  
As the healthcare system evolves and the population ages, Value Driven Health Care proves to be a vital resource for geriatricians, primary care physicians, specialists who work with aging patients, hospital administrators, healthcare educators, healthcare organizations, and all medical professionals working with aging patients and patients affected by healthcare reform.
