Advanced Applications of Home-Based Primary Care-Virtual Workshop-HBPC = Value-Based Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Tom Cornwell, Executive Chairman of the Home-Centered Care Institute, discusses the value of home-based primary care in a video presentation. Home-based primary care brings providers and technology into the homes of homebound patients, improving their quality of life and reducing healthcare costs by enabling them to stay at home. Several socioeconomic drivers support the growth of home-based primary care, including the aging population, advancing technology, increased funding of home and community-based services, and payment reform. Dr. Cornwell shares powerful stories and compelling data to illustrate the value of house calls and the positive impact they have on patients' lives. He also discusses payment reform and new value-based models that support home-based primary care. However, the workforce needs to expand to meet the demand, as currently only 15% of patients who could benefit from home-based primary care are being served. The geriatric 5Ms framework aligns perfectly with the home-based primary care model, emphasizing the importance of addressing what matters most to patients, mind and mentation, mobility, medications, and multi-complexity.
