This article discusses the increasing importance of home-based care solutions for post-acute care due to the global pandemic. This shift is driven by:
- Surging demand for home health care: patients prefer receiving care at home.
- Caregiver shortage: there is a need for more clinicians.
- Inflation impacts: affecting the ability to retain and attract caregivers.
Key factors fueling this trend include value-based care (VBC), patient-centered care, and an aging population. The approach emphasizes collaboration among home health agencies, providers, and payers to integrate services and address patient care gaps, investing in technology and empowering caregivers.
