The Real Caregivers…
“People with chronic conditions are the principal care-givers. Each day, patients decide what they are going to eat, whether they will exercise and to what extent they will consume prescribed medicines.”

Next Up: Bundled Readmission Payment
• Bundle proportion of historical readmission rate/payment into up-front DRG rate
• Step down the % of historical over a 3-5 year period (say, 95% to 60%)
• Key Advantages:– Provides a direct incentive to reduce rates– Enables hospitals to earn “windfall profits” during
early years– Avoid abrupt change with negative impact– Sets a high bar, that can be reconsidered– Even 60% is higher than best performing Medical
Home sites, so not unrealistic– Administratively simple
