Скачать или смотреть Improving the Quality and Efficiency of Care for Older Adults: Lessons From the Field

Observers of the American health care system agree that older adults frequently experience care that is uncoordinated, of poor quality, and too intensive. A recent forum in Washington, DC -- jointly sponsored by Health Affairs and the National Health Policy Forum and funded by the John A Hartford Foundation -- looked at two interventions aimed at improving care and reducing costs: The Geisinger Health System’s ProvenHealth Navigator, an advanced patient-centered medical home that embeds case managers in clinics, and the Comprehensive Care Physician model at the University of Chicago Medical Center, which seeks to avoid the problems created by the lack of coordination and communication between hospitalists and primary care physicians by enabling primary care physicians to care for their patients in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Both approaches have been featured in articles published in Health Affairs.
