12. Trends in Health Care Increase in Multi-Hospital Multi-Nursing Home
System
One of the key components of the scientific method is that “everything is open to question.” (i: words “Everything is Open to Question” appears) Another related concept is that all knowledge is conditional and subject to revision as we acquire new empirical evidence. One of the essential components of the scientific method is to keep an open mind. This approach allows us to be receptive to new information and letting go of previously held beliefs when those are shown to be wrong. In this way we are able to avoid preconceived ideas when there is no evidence that they are correct. Some social workers may continue to do things according to traditions in their practice setting. However, keeping an open mind allows us to question what is accepted as fact. This also allows us to consider whether there are different or more effective ways to practice than a traditional method. This ability to question and learn is a critical ingredient for professional growth and competence.
Decrease in Individually Owned/Operated

13. Shifts in RHCFs Auspice Propriety RHCFs will increase.
Voluntary RHCFs will continue to decline.
Public RHCFs will significantly decline.

14. Shifts in Financing There will be a decline in Medicaid.
Medicare combined with Medicare Advantage will increase.
Private pay will remain relatively stable

Move more sub-acute patients into nursing homes to reduce costs.
Adult day programs will increase in number.
Behavioral health programs will increase.

16. Model Predictions PACE and ISNPs will Continue to Thrive
Risk Models will Prevail
Incentive Models will be Developed
FIDA?

17. Technology Focus on Larger IT Systems and Databases
Confidentiality and Cyber Security
More Federal and State Audits/Oversight

18. Collaborations
Increase of nursing home and hospital collaborations (e.g. bundling)
More collaborations among LTC associations.
Increased collaboration between MLTC associations and LTC associations.
Increased collaboration with the NYS Department of Health and CMS.

19. Other Considerations Block Granting Medicaid funding RHCF Star Ratings
Federal and State Legislative Composition
Emergency Planning
Union Contracts 19

20. Conclusions Changing demographics will impact the delivery system.
Hospital readmissions will continue to decline.
Four and five star RHCFs will be more successful.
The MLTC will survive if there is a significant infusion of dollars into the long term care Medicaid system.
If the federal government moves to reimburse Medicaid through block grants, future funding will likely decrease.

21. Conclusions (continued)
The auspice of facilities will move rapidly toward a proprietary system.
There will be an increase in number of older adults in PACE program and ISNP.
The FIDA will likely be phased out when the demonstration program ends in 2018.
There will be an increase in collaborations with hospitals, as well as with other long term care organizations.
Medicare privatization will be implemented but probably not for several years.
