Emily Thomas Bureau Labor Statistics Contacts Home Care Path

Emily Thomas working within the United States Department of Labor in the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Work Force Development has contacted Home Care Path.

The law 29 U.S.C.2. is administered under the General Services Administration which has approved form BLS-3023 with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Office of Management and Budget.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics has successfully implemented online access for this statistical survey paper. 

Putting the survey online has facilitated better collection, collation, and publishing of labor statistics.  This is extremely important when calibrating changes with important services that exist to serve the increasing needs of aging citizens.

Inherent in the data is how public policy is supporting the ability of senior care providers ability to continue to help elders safely stay at home.  Recognizing a measurable decrease in employed elder care staff  triggers the need for analysis to comprehend this inverse relationship between an increase in the number of individuals needing help in the home and a decrease in the number of available staff.

Simply why has the need for in home care givers exploded while the number of employed home caregivers has drastically decreased.  Specific to the State of Wisconsin is the uncertainty being created with the top down Medicaid Long Term Care reformation taking place.

Simply the process of folding all long term care receivers in to one program that manages acute medical and long term care needs with no end to end established system.  Local providers do not have the interface in place to facilitate care through a coming insurance plan model. 

The data is communicating the loss of employment through the Care Management Organizations and all the contracted service providers.  Some Wisconsin Insurance Plans have moved their Medicaid Claims Processing Departments out of State - merging several streams to downsize.  The Wisconsin Department of Work Force Development now has questions of how to structure a proactive response to bolster the ability of employers to create the means to hire more in home care givers. 

This shift to an insurance plan can be envisioned as a cone with the pinpoint on the left <  and broad expansion toward the right.  Those needing service is the broad cone end to the right indicating a dense population authorized for service.  The pinpoint end to the left is the shrinking number of elder care providers who have the resources to complete the lengthy claims process that will be required as part of this Medicaid Long Term Care reformation. 

The Bureau of Labors statistical survey paper contributes to the calculation of individuals sitting on the side while senior care providers attempt to construct a budget capable of meeting the drastically increased cost of participating in a much more complex claims process. 

Home Care Path research lab expects a lot more questions before there are any real answers capable of supporting the providers needs with this change.
