Wisconsins PATH ALONG Model Reduces CMS Expenditures

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model reduces CMS expenditures by managing patient participation as it relates to four cost elevating avenues. The PATH ALONG model works to reduce expense on the following four points. 

1. Repetitive emergency department visit loop.  PATH ALONG works with the beneficiary to accurately determine the perception driving repetitive visits and facilitates change to prevent the loop.  The PATH ALONG model blends easily to support the Wisconsin Partnership Program and the Family Care Program.

2. Labor to audit observational stay status.  PATH ALONG forges a rapid connection allowing patients to go home with needed support reducing a hospital providers use of observation status outpatient admission.  If the inpatient room is 1554.00 per day, home with support at 20.00 per hour is a huge savings.

3. Hospital readmission.  The PATH ALONG process delivers a needs based approach to an advanced process resulting in a higher quality inpatient stay and safer outpatient recovery.  Staff use a flexible approach within a proven model to manage individual needs.

4. CMS certified in home care.  The PATH ALONG dynamic components help determine accurate need avoiding duplication and waste with in home CMS certified delivery in the home setting.  The PATH ALONG model prevents the use of CMS certified skilled provider delivery when supportive care can best fit the identified need.

The PATH ALONG model delivers an inpatient service with outpatient follow through to thoroughly attach needed service with each transitional flow.   The timing and intensity of the service PATH ALONG staff deliver provides a very favorable outlook to the reduction of Medicare, Medicaid expenditures.  This is inserting service with unfolding hospitalization to capture the support required for a proper recovery.
