Guess Who?
The proliferated problem
• Population?
▫ 2010-2031 population over 65 will triple.
Will we be Healthy?
CDC states:
In that population,
1 in 3 will be Obese
1 in 4 will have diabetes
1 in 2 arthritis
3 in 5 will have a chronic medical condition
The Emergency Dilemma…
• CDC and RAND corporation
▫ Over reliance on ER for Primary Care
▫ Expensive care in an unnecessarily expensive
setting.
“Regardless of your position on the Affordable Care Act
(ACA), its intent is to move the U.S. healthcare system away from one that provides financial incentives
based on the quantity of services to incentives based on the outcomes of care. Two of the most significant
drivers of this change are payments to groups of providers based on the outcome of the bundled episode of
care, and shared savings programs where groups of providers collaborate to share the savings generated
from quality and logical courses of care.”
“What Community Paramedicine is and why it’s the future of our profession” by Matt Zavadsky
