American Academy of Home Care Medicine

American Academy of Home Care Medicine We envision a health care system in which any patient who needs it can receive comprehensive primary medical care in their own home.
(1)

For every elderly person in a nursing home, there are three more people equally fragile and infirm living at home. Home health has become the fastest-growing segment of Medicare's budget. But few physicians in this generation have been educated through medical school or continuing education to provide the kind and level of care which could be made available; few have been educated to provide home

health agencies with support as medical directors; fewer still have learned the advanced team techniques that allow them to work with other health professionals-nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists and others-to provide continuity of care across the care continuum. Reimbursement also has been a barrier. That is why the American Academy of Home Care Physicians has been serving the needs of thousands of physicians and related professionals and agencies interested in improving care of patients in the home.

Register for the upcoming Hospital at Home Users Group webinar, Straight Talk: CMS Discusses the Acute Hospital Care at Home Initiative, on September 17 at 4 pm ET: https://tinyurl.com/37xyzjmb

As HaH programs prepare to launch or scale, some of the requirements set out in the CMS Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver may create misperceptions that can delay a program’s launch or limit its expansion.

In this webinar, Hospital at Home Users Group leader Linda DeCherrie, MD, (DispatchHealth) will be joined by Ashby Wolfe, MD, MPP, MPH, Regional Chief Medical Officer and the lead physician supporting the Acute Hospital Care at Home Initiative at CMS. The conversation will use clinical vignettes to address common questions related to transport and EMS coordination, clarify CMS requirements related to response time, discharge and in-home visits, home safety screenings, and caregiver considerations, among other essential topics. Importantly, the discussion will also explore the importance of clinical judgment and the operational flexibility that is built into the waiver’s requirements. This session is intended for HaH practitioners and leaders and is not open to the press.
