NPHI and C-TAC Launch Work on a Federal Community-Based Model to Expand Earlier, In-Home Support for Patients Nationwide
The groups said the model would target Medicare beneficiaries, including the 10% of patients who account for nearly 60% of spending.
- On Sunday, The National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation and The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care announced a commitment to develop a federal fee-for-service community-based palliative care model aimed at expanding access across the United States.
- Limited access to palliative care often forces patients to wait until late in their care journey for support, creating barriers that this initiative seeks to address through a sustainable framework for earlier community-based services.
- Cameron Muir, Chief Medical & Innovation Officer at NPHI, noted that roughly 10% of Medicare patients are responsible for nearly 60% of expenditures, making a community-based model essential to support sufficient care.
- Bill Novelli, Co-Founder & Co-Chair of C-TAC, said the partnership aims to improve quality of life and reduce unnecessary hospitalizations, helping more people remain at home rather than in institutional settings.
- NPHI and C-TAC look forward to continued collaboration with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, as Kristofer Smith, Senior Clinical Advisor at C-TAC, noted the plan leverages decades of clinical innovation for financial sustainability.
