Role of Healthcare What: 5 percent—accounts for nearly half of total spending on health care, while 20 percent accounts for four-fifths of total spending. This relatively small slice of the population incurs such high costs because most of these individuals have complex medical problems Problems include common but difficult-to-manage chronic diseases like diabetes and heart failure, mental and behavioral health issues Prevention of readmissions to acute care hospitals and psychiatric hospitals repeatedly could save millions if hospitals, doctors, and community health programs worked together to connect wraparound services Better Care at Lower Cost: Is It Possible?, The Commonwealth Fund, November 2013.
Role of Healthcare How: Have reliable policies and procedures to communicate with other clinicians, agencies, service providers etc. with access to community and social support resources Coordination of care across settings to integrate services that are centered on the comprehensive needs of the individual Coordination at transitions of care e.g. discharged patients need clear instructions on how to care for themselves at home, as well as help in scheduling and keeping follow-up appointments, sticking to a prescribed medication plan, and making necessary lifestyle changes Effective strategies to end homelessness taking into account the individual’s health conditions and disability All of these have the potential to decrease healthcare cost, decrease societal cost and most importantly increase the quality of life of impacted individuals
