Wisconsin Governor's Biz Plan Contest Equivafund Pitched

Wisconsin's PATHALONG program produced data to indicate the need for rapid personal supportive care provision.  Hospitals and nursing homes struggle with effective efforts to reduce readmissions and reduce costly observational stays.  Equivafund forges the mechanism to create a stronger inpatient to community provider handoff.

Equivafund is a destination web application designed to deliver a fixed route for the unplanned health condition requiring the elder to shift funding sources.  This helps families of sick elders who no longer meet inpatient status and must go home but still need a lot of help.  This is a shift from public (Medicare) funds to private payment. 

The elders needs have reduced to personal supportive care and no longer indicate a skilled medical provision.  The elder must discharge from the hospital or nursing home and find rapid access to a personal supportive care provider. 

Wisconsin hospitals and nursing homes can share discharge staff  while serving a several county geographical area. Discharge departments have limited time and staff to assist with each discharge. Some discharge staff struggle with the conversation that can require family to pay out of pocket for needed care.  Equivafund establishes a guideline that supports the inpatient provider, the patient and family and the community provider with this consistent need.

This is a snap shot of one of the benefits Equivafund can produce to support hospital and nursing home locations while making the surrounding community stronger.  This is a realistic approach to improving public health initiatives to demonstrate care assurance while supporting local jobs.
