Service Organization Structure & Process Criteria Make the HOME the center of health care delivery and social supports Re-establish the Doctor-Patient relationship Continuity of care across all settings and over the natural history of illness Coordinate Medical, Social and Housing services Match patient goals and processes of care

Life Care Coordination Fees Layered fee for non-covered services –Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment –Team meetings –Care coordination –Enhanced urgent care services –On-call services –Gap-filling fund Renewable contingent on performance –Adherence to evidence-based guideline targets –Patient and caregiver satisfaction targets –Reduced costs

“Whose Ox Gets Gored?” Sponsoring Hospitals –Cover “margin” expectations –Rate incentives for supporting innovation SNF/ICF –Escalated payments for greater complexity –Decreased payments for custodial care –Incentives for community-based referrals

The “Ask”: How You Can Help Advocacy for a focused, population-based health care delivery system transformation Development of population target criteria Development of new financing mechanisms Special interdisciplinary training programs Development of a public-private partnership towards common goals and incentives
