Episode Summary
In this episode, John walks us through how home health care came to be, the differences between home health care, private duty, and hospice, and the impending importance it has for the future as we live longer lives.
Episode Notes
A century ago, all health issues were tended to in the home, whether by a physician house call or by another family member. Yet, as modern medicine evolved in the early 20th century—along with important economic social changes, such as urbanization, industrialization and immigration—care transferred to hospitals and physician offices.
With rising health care costs in mind, by 2050 an estimated 27 million Americans will need some form of long-term care, with the bulk of that care being provided through home health providers and hospice care. Who receives health care in the home is not only a crucial policy question to be addressed but also can be a significant business opportunity for the industry and its suppliers.
In this episode, John walks us through how home health care came to be, the differences between home health care, private duty, and hospice, and the impending importance it has for the future as we live longer lives.
In this podcast, John Marchica speaks with Cypress HomeCare Solutions’ Managing Partner, Bob Roth. The Better Business Bureau serving Central, Northern and Western Arizona (BBB) announced on May 16, 2018 that Cypress HomeCare Solutions was the winner of its 2018 BBB Torch Awards for Ethics for companies with more than 150 employees. This is the first time a home care company has been nominated regionally, let alone won this award. Here are some of the highlights we cover:
- The differences between the terms of home health care, home care, and private duty, and how Cypress HomeCare Solutions fits in with them.
- The difficulties that Home Care organizations have with partnering with Integrated Delivery Networks (IDN) and Accountable Care Organizations (ACO).
- Bob’s opinion on how the nation currently scores for caring for the aging, quoting renowned Dr. Ken Dychtwald.
- Moving forward, how do we both gain more caregivers and integrate technology with caring for the growing aging population?
