Developing a Post Acute Care Strategy

许多医院正在转向外部组织来指导他们制定和管理他们的急性后护理(PAC)战略. With the increasing penalties tied to readmissions, 责任医疗组织(ACOs)的日益普及和捆绑支付计划的推进, 预计医院将在出院后30至90天内为患者提供护理和指导. 是否需要更好地管理捆绑支付模式或解决不断升级的再入院处罚, 大多数医院缺乏有效管理这些战略所需的内部专业知识和/或技术.

If there are no internal resources available, 许多医院求助于专业服务公司和技术公司,这些公司提供急症后护理网络支持服务. 解决方案的范围从仅提供软件到全PAC网络管理, 包括软件, 数据分析, reorganization of hospital processes, PAC provider network development and management, 护理重新设计服务, and clinical transitional care support.

寻求外部资源的医院往往选择最低限度的支持以节省资金. 然而,如果他们选择一个完全基于成本的解决方案,他们可能会付出更多的代价. 外部组织提供的越少,必须使用的医院资源就越多. Many times, the lowest cost solution does not provide the best value.

有一次, a hospital selection committee expressed to potential outside partners, that they were looking for a solution to purchase and run themselves. While this sounds like a solid approach to minimize spend, 它低估了医院工作人员有效使用该解决方案所需的时间和资源. 很少有医院, 如果有任何, 是否有空闲的员工可以操作软件并提供必要的决策支持. 还必须考虑培训医院工作人员实施该解决方案的成本, 以及技术人员流失和新员工培训的可能性.

一家医院的首席财务官最近讲述了他使用“纯技术”解决方案的经历. 该软件帮助医院决定哪个PAC供应商将提供最佳的预期患者结果. 然而, 首席财务官指出,这一过程需要医院工作人员花费大量时间从CMS下载数据, 输入到软件中, 解读数据, apply clinical insight to the data, 为PAC提供者选择提供操作输入(仅从急症护理的角度), 提供临床过渡性护理支持,指导患者完成连续的护理, and receive and interpret the outcomes from the overall patient encounter. The solution required more than just hitting a button.

另一位医院高管表示,虽然他们使用的技术解决方案在提供数据分析和信息仪表板方面很有效, it did nothing to guide them operationally.  “It provided us with great information, and we could see all of the levers, but we did not know which levers to pull,他说. It was like operating without a manual. What good is a system if you don’t know how to use it?

医院 are entering a new era of care continuum management. They cannot be expected to navigate PAC with software alone. 一个完整的PAC网络管理合作伙伴可能会为医院患者带来最好的结果,并且从长远来看可能会降低成本.
