Essential Elements of Home-Based Primary Care-Virtual Workshop-Recording: Day 1; Part 2

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the importance of quality improvement in home-based primary care. It emphasizes the need to measure and evaluate the quality of care being provided in order to make improvements. The video highlights the three components of quality: structural components, such as having the right team and resources; process components, such as using evidence-based practices; and outcome components, such as improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. The video also discusses the unique challenges and characteristics of patients receiving home-based medical care, such as trauma, multiple chronic conditions, and functional impairment. It describes the efforts of a national stakeholder network to develop a quality of care framework and quality indicators specifically suited to home-based medical care. The network has developed a set of quality measures and a quality of care registry, which allows practices to record and track their quality data. The video emphasizes the importance of learning collaboratives and learning health systems to foster collaboration, share best practices, and support quality improvement efforts. The ultimate goal is to create a comprehensive research data warehouse that combines data on practice and patient characteristics, quality metrics, and Medicare claims data to better understand and improve home-based medical care.
