Podcasts about home based care

Trauma is a universal experience, and our approach as health care providers to trauma should be universal as well. That's my main take-home point after learning from our three guests today when talking about trauma-informed care, an approach that highlights key principles including safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural sensitivity. With that said, there is so much more that I learned from our guests for this trauma-informed care podcast. Our guests include Mariah Robertson, Kate Duchowny, and Ashwin Kotwal. Mariah discussed her JAGS paper on applying a trauma-informed approach to home visits. Kate and Ashwin talked about their research on the prevalence of lifetime trauma and its association with physical and psychosocial health among adults at the end of life. We also explored several questions with them, including how to define trauma, its prevalence in older adults, the impact of past traumatic experiences, the potential triggers of trauma screening, and the application of trauma-informed principles in clinical practice.

When Krista Drobac first started thinking about home-based health care, she assumed that the biggest barriers to adoption would be cultural. But she quickly learned that policy was the problem.And then came COVID-19.

A lot of things could go wrong as there are a lot of information breaks during the course of a discharge. There needs to be a broader action plan and a continual set of information which can be referred to in order to prevent mistakes happening down the line. Anything you can do from a product standpoint that helps alleviate some of the challenges of the day to day is valuable. Value based care is going to become more and more important over the next decade, as healthcare payment models need to continue to evolve to support the wave of care that's going to be required. The staffing shortage is caused by healthcare systems not being able to provide enough value such that payment models can start evolving and people could get paid more. The key to solving this is developing new tech enabled care models, action plans, and the like that's going to have an impact from a clinical perspective while also paying for itself. “One of the most important things our society can be doing over the next decade is essentially making sure that the care models are there and are clinically effective, and are also financially sustainable such that this group of people who will need more and more support will actually be able to get it.” - Lee TeslikConnect with Lee Teslik: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehudsonteslik/ Learn more from Carrie and Rebecca: Healthcare Insights (a monthly deep dive into specific topics for innovators): https://nixongwiltlaw.com/healthcare-insightsTelehealth/Virtual Care Mgmt Update (a biweekly LinkedIn newsletter tracking legal and policy changes across the nation): https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/telehealth-virtual-care-update-6901900767960068096/ Website: https://nixongwiltlaw.com/ Carrie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrienixon/ Rebecca on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccagwilt/NGL on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nixon-gwilt-law/ 

Hi everyone, I'm Briana Contreras and I'm an editor for Managed Healthcare Executive. Back from a brief hiatus, MHE brings you a brand new episode of Tuning In to the C-Suite podcast where I had the pleasure of speaking with Lissy Hu, President of Connected Care Networks at WellSky. Lissy and I discussed the shift to home-based care and where it stands after becoming much more of a norm three years into COVID-19. We also addressed the benefits and challenges of home-based care from a payer and patient's perspective, as well as the cost of this service as its demand rises.

Home-based healthcare is the stuff of tomorrow – literally. Tomorrow Health just closed a $60M Series B to grow their tech infrastructure biz into what CEO Vijay Kedar hopes will ultimately streamline and optimize how home health is ordered, delivered and paid for. This is the software that could be the thing that not only gets patients into home-based set-ups faster (vastly improving upon the up-to-90-minutes it currently takes providers to set-up home care for patients) but also creates a system for all stakeholders to track and monitor patient outcomes with an aim at the much larger, long-term opportunity: to realign incentives on value instead of fee-for-service. Vijay came out of Oscar Health, meaning there is definitely a payer slant to the way this software is designed and deployed. Payers are Tomorrow Health's clients, and it offers them a way to organize (or completely create, in some cases) home care networks out of the hundreds of different small, local market suppliers and providers that get medical equipment, skilled and unskilled services, and other in-home care elements to the doorsteps of the patients who need them. Their software alleviates a payer's pain of scaling this concept in every market while also providing a way to track what's happening with the patient and build a “bridge” back into the health system that's leading the patient care team With so many other players working in the home-health space – everyone from retail players like Walgreens/CareCentrix and Best Buy/Current Health to upstarts like Signify Health, Honor, and more – how will this tech stack approach play out against others that are one-stop-shops with frontline care and coordination layered on top? Will these ultimately be Tomorrow's next clients??

Join Health Affairs Insider.When the Institute of Medicine defined health care quality, patient-centeredness was one of the five core dimensions. Yet as many have noted, the health system often seems to be more organized around the needs of providers than patients.This reality is particularly true when it comes to older Americans. An entire system of coverage and care has built up around institutional needs and institutional definitions - nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living centers, rehabilitation centers, and more.Christine Ritchie from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School joins A Health Podyssey to discuss what a reimagined health system truly designed around the needs of older patients could look like.Ritchie and coauthor Bruce Leff of Johns Hopkins University published a commentary in the May 2022 issue of Health Affairs describing the elements of a new home and community-based care ecosystem for older people.They argue for a system grounded in principles like respect for caregivers and medical and social integration.Order the May 2022 issue of Health Affairs for research on telemedicine, disparities, pharmaceuticals, and more.Subscribe: RSS | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Podcasts

In India, it is not easy to witness to Urban dwellers about the Lord. Cannot go from door to door. Most of the church planting has been done in rural areas.Home based care gives health care workers an opportunity to develop relationships with our Urban non-Christian neighbors. More than 60 million Indians go below the poverty line each year due to medical care expenses. Often the hospital admissions and investigations are unnecessary. Home based care can help reduce health care expenses. We present what our home based care company PISCES health and Wellness is doing in India.

Join Health Affairs Insider.President Joe Biden has been making negotiations to get his massive infrastructure plan over the finish line. Some funding related to health care that was originally in the plan ended up on the cutting room floor.In particular, $400 billion in federal Medicaid funding for home and community-based long term care services were removed from the plan. The earmarked funds for Medicaid still could be passed through a budget reconciliation act but that remains to be seen. This has implications for the health and well-being of many Americans including low-income individuals 65 and older, people with disabilities, and home-based care workers.

Guest: Andy Arwari, MD With more patients opting for home-based care over long-term, acute, and office-based care, it's important that we align with our patients on what's most important to them and how they want to be cared for, especially those who are nearing the end of life. That's why VITAS Medical Director, Dr. Andy Arwari, is here to share the purpose of goals-of-care conversations and how an app can aid in determining if an advanced illness patient is eligible for hospice.

COVID-19 ushered in an overwhelmingly stronger preference for patients to receive care at home rather than in a facility. A national survey by Transcend Strategy Group revealed that 60 percent of family healthcare decision makers are now more confident that quality care can be provided at home versus 33 percent feeling more confident in the quality of care at a facility. This preference, along with the growing demand for care as the huge demographic of Baby Boomers continues to age, is opening new opportunities and challenges for providers of home-based care.In response, Bill Dombi – Doctor of Law and President of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) – has said that providers of home-based care must demonstrate “a willingness to not only embrace change, but to lead it.” Through this important discussion with host Stan Massey of Transcend, Bill offers his insights to three key areas of necessary change: 1) Widening the understanding of what home-based care can provide; 2) The role of technology and other innovations in meeting the demands of home-based care; and 3) Developing a bigger and better workforce to handle the growing volume of home-based patients.Bill has served at NAHC for more than 30 years, including his role as president since 2017. He also serves as executive director for the Home Care & Hospice Financial Managers Association. Bill specializes in legal, legislative and regulatory advocacy on behalf of patients and providers of home health, private duty home care and hospice care.With nearly 40 years of experience in healthcare law and policy, Bill has been involved in virtually all legislative and regulatory efforts affecting home care and hospice since 1975.

Payers and consumers are demanding less expensive care with better outcomes. And in the wake of COVID-19, they're also demanding safer long-term care. Home health is gaining in popularity in this environment. And as technology advances and data sharing becomes easier, home health is becoming an integral part of the patient journey. Listen as Mary Henschel, PointClickCare's home care director of client success, discusses how home health is taking the lead in the provision of long-term care.

Leaders in the healthcare industry speak to focusing on the home as the site of care in the future.  If that’s the plan then the issue of getting supplies and equipment to the home must be addressed.  Today, the process to obtain medical equipment and supplies is fragmented across a wide base of providers, lacks reliability in getting the right product to meet a person’s clinical needs delivered on time. There is no transparency or visibility through the process.  Patient’s often share that equipment or supplies show up and they don’t know what to do with them.  Others state that the large quantity of supplies received speak to the waste in the healthcare system.  Tomorrow Health is a startup that is tackling these issues and with me is Vijay Kedar, Co-founder and CEO.  Show notes: Ben Horowitz – What you do is who you are?

"Some children have lost both parents, some one; they need to be helped. But we're asking the government to include us in development, so that we will be working together." - Rosemary Bemba language and English translation [English Translation] My name is Rosemary. When I first felt sick, it was 2013 and I went to Mungwi Baptist Clinic. When I reached Mungwi, I visited the clinic officer who tested me and found that I'm HIV positive. Then I came back from Mungwi and went straight to the Malole Clinic where Madam Marjorie attended to me. She started me on treatment on the 13th of March, 2013. I have received medicine in Malole from that time until now, 2019. We have an organization in my village that I am active in, we encourage other people within the community, those who fear being open, to be open. So I started encouraging people in the community because they are not open. From that time, I was accompanied by Mary Chileshe. We make sure that we also encourage other people who are already sick. That's how we continue encouraging other members. I'm also a member of Home Based Care, so it's easier for me to work in my village. We've continued that program from 2013 up to now, in 2019. We go around the village to make sure that we're with people. We started working with Clara on malnutrition because some children are not looking healthy. Then Clara went back to America and from there, we continued with Rebecca and the same program. After working together with Rebecca, then Sam came. Now he teaches us fish farming. But people are still feeling shy because of stigma. Some people are not attending the meetings because they are fearful. So we have continued with Home Based Care in the village. Today, Adam visited to help us learn more about fish farming which can help us, showing us how to care for fish. We are going to harvest in May or June. After harvesting our fish, we're going to continue, but we're asking the government to include us in development so that we will be working together. We need the government to make sure they're supporting us so that we can continue, because some of the children - their parents have died, so they are orphans. So they need to help. Some children have lost both parents, some one. They need to be helped. Mrs. Mary has continued to help us by collecting reports and taking them to Mrs. Chewe at the clinic and she supports those in the community who have fear.

The Visiting Nurse Associations of America, better known as VNAA, has long been one of the pillars of advocacy for care in the home.  They’ve felt, however, that the industry overall remains too fragmented to work towards the common goals we all share.  This led them to create an entirely new entity, the recently unveiled elevatingHOME, through which they intend to “re-envision healthcare delivery to place home at the center of care.”  Gavin and Zac recently attended the kick-off ceremony during the Home Based Care conference in San Diego and spoke with the leadership of both organizations, and the thought leaders who are working to make this vision a reality.  Explore this enormous undertaking and visions of what the future can hold with guests including Tracey Moorhead, President & CEO of VNAA AND elevatingHOME, Bob Fazzi, Founding Board Member of elevatingHOME, and Erik Wexler, Chief Executive of Providence St. Joseph Health Southern California.

Ep. 105: Adam Gould is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of eduKenya (http://www.edukenya.org/), which seeks to empower children and their families with the opportunity to break the chronic cycle of poverty and transform their lives and communities.  Adam co-founded eduKenya with Bob Kikuyu in 2010 as an extension of the Kenya Children Project, an outreach to children and families in Mathare. The Kenya Children Project was established in 2006 as a partnership with Believers Centre Mathare Church and Life in Abundance to expand on the church’s childcare program by developing a fully functional primary school. The Kwa Watoto School – which means “for the children” in Swahili – was the result. From 2007 – 2010, the Kwa Watoto School rapidly expanded, adding a new grade level each year. The Skills Training and Home Based Care programs were initiated to benefit students’ parents and other community members by teaching income generating skills and providing support for people living with HIV/AIDS and other life threatening conditions. eduKenya was founded to build upon the success of the Kenya Children Project by replicating the model in other areas of the slum for the benefit of countless other uneducated children and families living in abject poverty. Listen as Adam tells Alex about his first journey to Kenya, how get got involved in the culture and society, and the journey to forming eduKenya, and how he remains tied to Kenya via his work but also through his own, multicultural, multiracial family, which includes his Kenyan wife, and their children.
