Sponsored by the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC).

The health care landscape is dramatically changing. Both traditional hospice and palliative care models will face efficacy challenges in the emerging Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), which are reimbursed through bundled payment structures.

In this audio conference, learn how Hospice of Michigan positioned itself for the future—creating @HOMe Support™, its national, innovative, wholly-owned not-for-profit subsidiary company providing advanced illness management (AIM) services.

What You’ll Learn:

• Identify how the health care landscape is changing
• Identify the three tiers of chronic disease case management for Organized Systems of Care (OSCs) and ACOs.
• Describe the “care gap” in our current health care system and its impact on quality and cost.
• Describe the research and development of @HOMe Support™ that took 10 years to become an “overnight success.”
• Discuss the implications of the AIM model of care delivery within the changing landscape of health care reform.
