Duke-Margolis Webinar Recording: Bridging a Care Gap - Policy Opportunities for Improving Access to Home-Based Primary Care for Rural Populations
The Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy held a webinar on Dec. 5 on "Bridging a Care Gap: Policy Opportunities for Improving Access to Home-Based Primary Care for Rural Populations."
Home-based primary care can help address health needs and advance health equity, particularly for older adults who struggle to access care in traditional care settings. Rural adults face disparities in access to home-based medical care and are 78 percent less likely than those in the largest metropolitan counties to receive home-based medical care.
This webinar explored practical opportunities to address the gap between the demand and supply of home-based primary care services through models led by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Medicare Advantage. Speakers discussed:
- Unique challenges of implementing home-based primary care in rural areas,
- Care delivery considerations for supporting rural home-based primary care, and
- Policy opportunities to support rural home-based primary care providers and the communities they serve.
The webinar was supported by JAHF and is part of the Leveraging Policy Reforms to Scale Home-Based Primary Care project.
