摘要 | The projected financial burden of paying for chronic disease treatment is enormous – it is estimated that spending for individuals with chronic conditions will contribute towards approximately 80 percent of the annual $1 trillion the U.S. spends on health care. This burden is particularly severe within the Medicare population, where 75 percent of those over age 65 report having at least one chronic condition and nearly half of those report having two or more conditions. Medicare beneficiaries with high-prevalence, high-cost, medical conditions typically require frequent and expensive health care from a wide range of providers. The risk of fragmented and duplicative care resulting in unnecessary hospitalizations, re-admissions and poor health outcomes, is great. Beneficiaries are often poorly positioned to manage their complex care needs and navigate the health and social service systems they interact with. While some may benefit from the help of caregivers, a great number of beneficiaries lack adequate support and even those that do could benefit from additional intervention; this could include managing specific conditions and diseases, such as in disease management programs, or focus more broadly on managing and supporting the continuum of care, such as with care management programs. |
