Home Visits Shifting Community Perception

The State of Wisconsin has developed the IRIS program, the Family Care Program, and the Wisconsin Partnership Program, which serves nursing home level of care patients who choose to reside in the community.  This population receives home visits to maintain wellness. 

Local hospitals have placed health care services in the same geographical location and call themselves health care centers.  These providers now build large outpatient clinics to serve the area citizens.  Following an outpatient procedure many individuals benefit from the help of another (home visits) for a period of time.

A recent survey conducted by the Health Care Intelligence Network www.hin.com of New Jersey found that while 79 percent of the hospital health care system conduct home visits only 0 to 10 percent of the total population receive a home visit.  With a Federal, State, and Health Care Industry shift toward serving more individuals in the community the 0 to 10 percent reported figure should begin to climb.

Forty three percent of the respondents report post discharge as the primary reason for a home visit.  This survey involved 155 organizations.   The data indicates an individual is selected for a home visit by a process that includes chart reviews, electronic health care records condition program, hospital census, and self reports.

Home Care Path is a community based organization committed to facilitating the integration of in home supportive care with public funded programming and medical provision.  This involves supportive care solutions to guide the varied insurance plans implementation of health benefits near the point of service.  This is an effective way to manage loss through reimbursement tied to : preventable readmissions, repetitive ER visit loop, outpatient observational stays, and funding skilled medical staff for non -medical tasks.
