AAHCM Toolkit: Building Awareness and Engaging Payers to Bring Home-Based Primary Care into the Mainstream
The American Academy of Home Care Medicine (AAHCM) has launched a digital toolkit of home-based primary care (HBPC) educational resources, "Building Awareness and Engaging Payers to Bring Home-Based Primary Care into the Mainstream."
The aim of the toolkit is to help payers and providers understand how HBPC significantly improves quality and reduces costs for more than two million seriously ill and home-limited older adults.
HBPC providers, including independent and hospital-based practices, work as interdisciplinary teams that include physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers and nurses. Multiple studies have shown that HBPC delivers significant cost savings and improves patient satisfaction.
AAHCM’s research-based educational initiative is funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation and West Health.
