A basic duty of the government is to provide for the wellbeing of its citizens. The reimbursement system is unable to keep up the the cost of inflation and the emerging demands of increased utilization. These demands will increasingly contunue to be unmet. Access will suffer unless there is a reapportionment of investment. We also have a duty for increased stewardship and less entities in the middle taking unreasonable profits. It’s not a political hot button because people don’t truly understand stand that charges are reimbursed differently and as designed the charging structure transfers cost to payouts who cannot reasonable afford to pay these cost. The issue is complex, but access to care is going to continue to be impacted until this is resolved
While the commitment to serve, treat and heal never wavers, hospitals continue to face cost pressures that have increased throughout the past few years. The AHA’s new Costs of Caring report highlights how hospitals and health systems continue to experience significant financial pressures that challenge their ability to provide 24/7 care for patients and communities. Simply put, the costs of providing care often outstrip levels of reimbursement … by a lot. https://lnkd.in/eEuM6Sza

Why some health systems say 'hospital at home' not 'worth it' | Some health systems have decided that providing hospital-at-home care "might not be worth it," NBC News reported. [Becker's] While "hospital at home" has exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly since CMS started reimbursing for it, some systems have been reluctant to partake in the trend because the CMS waiver expires at the end of 2024, according to the Feb. 7 story. "For many hospitals, it seems like it might not be worth it," Nancy Foster, vice president for quality and patient safety policy at the American Hospital Association, told the news outlet. Some commercial payers are also waiting on the government's next move before deciding whether to reimburse for the care model. Hospital-at-home leaders told Becker's for a December story that the uncertainty is causing some health systems to take a wait-and-see approach, but most of them expect Congress to extend the waiver or make it permanent.

Healthcare Strategist and Entrepreneur - Passionate about data driven outcomes, thoughtful AI integration into healthcare, and better patient experiences.
Fee-for-service models create a major dilemma in healthcare. As Mohamed Diab explains, "...patients want more access to coordinated, convenient, personalized, and affordable care, but physicians have limited time and resources," and "For physicians, the promise of value-based care is the ability to spend more time focusing on the whole patient." VBC benefits all parties. Identifying pain points has been the main block to implementation, but the benefits have been undeniable. #ValueBasedCare #VBC #FFS #Healthcare
