Though providing hospital-level care at home is not a new concept, the popularity of such programs grew during the COVID-19 pandemic. As cases of the deadly coronavirus began surging in March 2020, healthcare organizations nationwide halted various types of in-person care due to capacity constraints and fears of exposing people to the virus. As they pivoted to virtual care strategies to manage patient care, hospital-at-home programs emerged as a key tool. Today, with backing from federal agencies, healthcare organizations are continuing to rely on hospital-at-home programs even though in-person care has largely resumed.
As we head into 2023, we wanted to kick off the new year with a series of 2023 Health IT predictions. We asked the Healthcare IT Today community to submit their predictions and we received a wide ranging set of responses that we grouped into a number of themes. Check out our communities predictions below and be sure to add your own thoughts and/or places you disagree with these predictions in the comments and on social media. Check out our community’s healthcare business and value based care predictions.
Health Leaders | January 3, 2023
After finding that only six of its 50 alternative payment models (APMs) “generated statistically significant savings to Medicare and to taxpayers,” CMS and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) hope that 2023 will refresh its value-based care (VBC) efforts.
Here are four updates to its newest VBC model — ACO REACH — as 2023 kicks off.
Health equity affects all of us—either directly or indirectly—and the lack of equity could be pushing us into a financial crisis. Health equity is the fair and just opportunity for every individual to achieve their full potential in all aspects of health and well-being. Health inequities cost us $320 billion a year. If we don’t change course, that number could reach $1 trillion by 2040. In 2001, the National Academy of Medicine published Crossing the Quality Chasm, which highlighted equitable care as a priority in health care. While many health care organizations have focused on health equity since that report, the care patients receive (and the outcomes they experience) can still vary widely by race, age, income, ethnicity, gender, and ZIP code.
