Listen to Trellis president and CEO, @Dawn Simonson, present about the Juniper Community Care Hub at the March 8 Legislative Task Force on Aging. The Juniper Community Care Hub is an innovative way to help older adults and family caregivers in Minnesota receive the services that they need by providing an influx of resources and other support. It uses a framework that is central to how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Administration for Community Living think about integrating healthcare and social care. According to Simonson: “Minnesota is uniquely positioned to move the hub model to a scale that will have a real impact on the state budget. We're so lucky we have all the ingredients: world-class health systems, thoughtful healthcare payers, innovative government, and a strong network of nonprofit organizations spread throughout our state and supported by one of the country's best philanthropic and volunteer environments. It's time to leverage these important assets.” @trellisconnects https://buff.ly/48LKRZH

Most of the funding for hospices comes from their charitable activities. However, NHS funding makes a vital contribution. Unfortunately, UK government funding to hospices has declined in real terms. If hospices are unable to provide the care patients need, the NHS will pick up the whole cost as these patients will end up in NHS facilities instead of hospices, with the specialist care they can provide to patients and their families. The government can choose to pick up the total cost of end of life care, or they can continue to pick up a fraction of the costs by funding hospices properly. This is not the most difficult decision the government will have to make. #hospice #care
You can watch here an ITV News piece made earlier today at Michael Sobell House , part of Harlington Hospice. The report examines hospice funding challenges and captures the high quality of care and support offered to patients there. https://lnkd.in/eGkQ8RJK

Since the State of Ohio expanded Medicaid eligibility in 2014, Franklin County hospitals have seen a 93.1% increase in total uncompensated care, which is the sum of free care provided to the uninsured and shortfalls in reimbursement from the Medicaid program. While the amount of charity care has decreased by 20% since 2014, Franklin County hospitals have seen a 127% increase in Medicaid shortfalls. While hospitals have incurred greater losses as a result of the expansion of Medicaid, the community as a whole has benefited from an increase in preventive screenings and the early diagnosis and treatment of chronic health conditions and diseases. The result: our community’s most vulnerable residents have access to preventable health care, improved health outcomes, and more financial security.

Today's #KingsSpeech failed to mention any commitment to improving palliative and end of life care, a huge missed opportunity. Especially when we know that one in four people in the UK dies without the care and support that they need. 🚨 With the General Election coming up, all political parties must make this a priority NOW. Action is needed to close the gaps in end of life care and meet the rapidly rising demand. The NHS plan mentioned today is much-needed. But if it doesn't account for the long-term workforce needs of charitable and independent providers of palliative care, it will fail to address the challenges that end of life care is facing and will face in the future. 📝 Our joint manifesto is clear on what needs to change. Read about our calls now 👇 https://bit.ly/40rQDgh
Good end of life care shouldn't be left to chance

President and Chief Executive Officer at Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties, Inc. Radio Host - WTBQ “The Non-Profit Notebook” Sigma Theta Tau
New York State is last in the nation for utilization of hospice services. Let that sink in. There are a million reasons why this is true and educating the public on exactly what hospice is and isn’t remains more important than ever. There is so much sketchy or inaccurate information out there and as we educate lawmakers – we are learning that some think that the way to fix access is to add more hospices. This could not be further from the truth. So let me be clear – adding MORE hospices will not fix the problem. Hospice care is best delivered in the community setting by non-profits who exist to serve their own communities. Adding more hospices may sound like a good idea on the surface – but opening the floodgates will encourage more for-profit hospices in NY and the result will almost certainly be lower-quality services in exchange for cost avoidance strategies. That is exactly why states like California and Arizona are under the microscope. NY hospices have the capacity to accept more patients – but so much more work needs to be done to educate the public on eligibility and services provided. Fraud and abuse have no place in end-of-life care. Thankfully, Medicare is cracking down on the bad actors. Vulnerable patients expect the best from us. Hospice’s publicly reported quality scores can be found at Care Compare at http://Medicare.gov #hospice #qualitymatters

It's alarming to know that New York State ranks last in the utilization of hospice services. This highlights the urgent need to educate the public about what hospice truly entails. There is a plethora of misleading and inaccurate information circulating, and it is crucial to address this issue, especially when engaging with lawmakers. It has come to our attention that some believe that increasing the number of hospices is the solution to improving access. However, this misconception couldn't be further from the truth. To clarify, merely adding more hospices will not solve the problem at hand. The most effective delivery of hospice care occurs within the community, provided by non-profit organizations dedicated to serving their respective communities. While the idea of increasing the number of hospices may seem appealing, it would inadvertently open the floodgates for more for-profit hospices in New York. Consequently, this would likely result in lower-quality services as these hospices prioritize cost-cutting measures over patient care. This is precisely why states like California and Arizona are under scrutiny. Although New York hospices have the capacity to accommodate more patients, there is a dire need for public education on eligibility requirements and the services offered. End-of-life care should never be tainted by fraud or abuse. Fortunately, Medicare is taking steps to crack down on these unethical practices. It is our responsibility to ensure that vulnerable patients receive the best possible care. To assess the quality of hospices, public reports and scores can be found on Care Compare at http://Medicare.gov. Let's prioritize the importance of hospice care and work towards improving access and quality for all. #hospice #qualitymatters

Chief Communications Officer, STEM NOLA | STEM Global Action • Board Chair, Alzheimer's Association Louisiana Chapter [21.2K+ micro-influencers]
This article, written by Dave Pearson, highlights the recent launch of a website by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) focused on explaining the fundamentals of value-based care. This user-friendly website, named the Value-Based Care Spotlight, is designed to educate both healthcare consumers and professionals. Under the direction of CMS Innovation Center Director Liz Fowler, the platform's goal is to improve comprehension of value-based care as a key element in the transformation of healthcare. Value-based care, as explained on the site, involves collaboration among doctors and healthcare providers to oversee an individual's overall health, taking into account their personal health objectives. The term "value" in value-based care refers to what an individual values the most in terms of their health. The website features real-life stories, including those of individuals like Lamont Mitchell from Washington, D.C., who successfully aligned his diabetes management with broader health goals, and Letisha Wadsworth from Brooklyn, N.Y., currently undergoing home dialysis therapy. This initiative aligns with CMS's previous announcement, made 13 months prior, outlining its intention to have all Medicare beneficiaries and a majority of Medicaid beneficiaries enrolled in accountable care organizations by 2030.
