“Every day, we see more providers, patients, and payers, including Medicare and private insurance companies, becoming more involved in the movement toward home-centered care,” said Julie Sacks, President and Chief Operating Officer of HCCI. “Like HCCI, they recognize that house calls are the future of healthcare, not a relic of times past. These three new board members share that passion for a better healthcare system and are joining an organization dedicated to improving health outcomes, offering a better patient and caregiver experience, and decreasing overall cost through home-based primary care.”

The John A. Hartford Foundation focuses on investing in experts on aging and practice innovations that transform how the care of older adults is delivered. As part of this effort, it recently awarded a comprehensive grant to help build home-based primary care into health care delivery and health policy in the U.S. as a critical component of age-friendly care. This grant includes four co-grantee organizations, each of which focuses on a different aspect of this healthcare transformation:

• National Home-Based Primary Care Learning Network (Performance Improvement/Quality)
• Home Centered Care Institute (Education and Technical Assistance)
• American Academy of Home Care Medicine (Practice Directory)
• Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy (Payment Reform)

“The John A. Hartford Foundation is an exemplary partner,” said Julie Sacks, President and COO of HCCI. “Their support comes in many forms: they guide, promote, inspire, and champion the co-grantees' work, both what is done independently and collectively. We are fortunate to have them in our corner and to be able to depend on them for their unwavering commitment to home-based primary care.”

Imagine if your grandparent, parent, or other family member or friend, needed primary care, REALLY needed it, but couldn't leave home. Or, to get them to it, it would take most of the day and probably end in several pulled muscles on your part to get the wheelchair into the already-cramped trunk. Then, some of that day, you'd be looking for a parking spot, navigating office halls, and then waiting in the...well, the aptly named "waiting room."

Then imagine you don't have to do those things. Instead, a doctor, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or other healthcare provider, would come to the place your loved one calls "home" and take care of them...even if it's in a skilled nursing facility or assisted living facility.

Then know that we at the Home Centered Care Institute are working every day with practices, providers, partners, and others, to make that vision a reality for the over 7 million homebound and home-limited in the U.S. who need that kind of care. To help them stay well, live well, and still be where we most would like to be as we age... "home."

Help make that future, and the powerful results spotlighted in The HCCI Story, a reality now by supporting HCCI.

It is designed as an “on-ramp” for hospital-based teams (e.g., emergency departments, intensive care units, general wards, medical-surgical units), ambulatory care teams (e.g., primary care, specialty care), nursing home teams (e.g., post-acute and long-term care), and convenient care clinic teams to test and adopt age-friendly care. Join the movement here.
