PATH ALONG Maximize Hospital Readmission Reduction

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model addresses transitions as a way to reduce hospital readmission rates.  One of the not so apparent transitions is the shift from private funds to public money as a health care pay source.  As a way to stabilize the household, has the senior determined eligibility for the public funded programs. 

PATH ALONG staff work with the senior to facilitate access to public funded health care benefits.   Discussing medical care needs as relates to the Wisconsin Partnership Program, The Family Care Program, or a non-service related pension through the Veterans Affairs to name a few.

A hospital discharge can indicate a change in condition which would call for a benefit review to determine eligibility.  Many elders can qualify for some form of additional help.  Home Care Path www.homecarepath.com and the PATH ALONG model expect seniors to be served by multiple varied community providers throughout the recovery.

Knowledge of how the patient can navigate the available streams of  monetary benefits that flow in the form of  care delivered through public programs can improve the recovery experience.
Connecting the private to public pay sources to assure care is a long term evidence based approach to reducing hospital readmission rates.
