Blog: Let's Pick Up the PACE - Expanding the Reach of the Gold Standard Program of All-Inclusive Car
Amy Herr, MHS, PMP, Director of Health Policy, West Health Policy Center, and Amy Berman, RN, LHD, FAAN, Senior Program Officer, The John A. Hartford Foundation, have co-written a blog for the American Society of Aging (ASA), "Let's Pick Up the PACE: Expanding the Reach of the Gold Standard Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly."
The article notes that "PACE® is the gold standard of person-centered, integrated care for elders who need support and services to remain in their homes. The program is a Medicare benefit that serves adults age 55 and older who are eligible to receive nursing home care but are living in the community. Most participants are also eligible for Medicaid."
"West Health and The John A. Hartford Foundation are funding an exciting initiative - PACE 2.0 - to expand the reach of PACE programs nationally. Led by the National PACE Association, the PACE 2.0 Project, is developing strategies to increase both the number of participants at each site as well as expand to new geographic areas and populations"....with the goal of increasing the number of people served by PACE organizations to 200,000 by 2028.
