Video Summary

The video discusses the benefits of home-based primary care for older adults who are homebound or home limited. Currently, the majority of these patients do not have access to primary healthcare and rely on emergency room visits for basic care. With home-based primary care, healthcare providers visit patients in their homes and provide ongoing care, including lab tests and imaging. This type of care not only improves outcomes and quality of life for patients and caregivers, but also reduces the overall cost of care. Currently, only about 15% of those in need of this type of care can access it due to a lack of providers and practices offering it. However, with the increasing demand for home-based care, it is predicted to grow by 10% annually for the next 10 to 20 years. The Home-Centered Care Institute (HCCI) is an organization focused on scaling home-based primary care and offers education, consulting, research, and advocacy services to help expand this form of care.
