Bend the cost curve in your senior population

Populations around the word are aging, presenting significant challenges for our social and healthcare networks. This white paper presents a series of studies addressing ways to identify and address rising costs. 

 

Many strategies and tools already focus on the high-touch interventions for the highest acuity patients and on developing longitudinal data sets to identify and address gaps in care. By additionally reviewing the untapped potential to control costs and improve care beyond the highest-cost patients with emerging risk patients through line-of-sight into the home, early intervention tailored to the patient can help reduce overall risk of hospital transport and potential admission.

 

Core to managing senior care and the related costs are three tenets:

1. Next year’s costly patients are largely unmonitored today
2. Line-of-sight into the home is key to cost containment
3. Early identification facilitates tailored interventions
