Between 2001 and 2013, spending on skilled nursing, long-term rehabilitation facilities, and home health services for Medicare beneficiaries rose from $27.5 to $53.8 billion, a rate of growth that outpaced overall health spending. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have turned to a variety of value-based initiatives to slow the rate of growth in post-acute care spend and reduce the number of hospital readmissions.
“More and more, hospitals and providers are responsible for the cost and quality of patients following discharge,” Richards continued. “That’s tough, because many of these costs have traditionally been outside the control of the hospital. Through naviHealth’s suite of decision support tools, hospitals can more effectively manage these transitions of care through a patient-centered approach, resulting in better quality outcomes and lower costs.”
