Home Care Path Wisconsin Governors Business Plan Contest Matching

Home Care Path is preparing their submission for the Wisconsin Governor's Business Plan Contest.  It will be important to communicate how the Home Care Path multisided platform provides digital access for service specific matching.  This is a consumer driven tool designed to benefit the large population working in the growing elder care industry.

Supportive home care is a non-medical service that can be categorized in the Tech Industry as a health related service.  The need for supportive home care is well documented in the Care Coordination literature being followed  by Hospital and Nursing Home Administrating bodies.

Large Electronic Health Record software suppliers have been driven by regulations - a federal mandate in 2009 ordered Hospitals to adopt Electronic Health Records by 2014.  The Home Care Path multisided digital platform is not driven by enacted federal regulations- but rather by the consumer population seeking a faster- better way to find help to keep their elder family member safe in their own home.

The Home Care Path digital platform matches supportive home care workers with families needing staffing in real time.  This is leveraging digital technology to improve a families ability to have their elder safely receive in home supportive care.

Home Care Path Wisconsin Governors Business Plan Contest Buyer Seller Over Lap

Home Care Path is preparing their submission for the Wisconsin Governor's Business Plan Contest.  This involves communicating the benefits to the multisided digital platform.  It will be helpful for those reviewing the submission to understand how the Home Care Path digital platform is designed to facilitate buyer - seller over lap.

Buyer- seller over lap is activity where the digital platform is able to steadily convert some of their customers in to providers.  This is growth producing activity that assures over all sustainability.   This digital platform has a cross sided connecting virality - meaning either side brings in both customers and providers.

Example:  A family care (customer) giver needs time off for a wedding and connects with supportive care staff on the digital platform to help out.  The supportive care staff (providers) explain the easy utilization of the digital platform - and when the family care giver's duty to family reaches completion the person offers their service as a provider on the digital platform.  The consumer converted to a provider.  Now marketing their service through the digital platform to their base across social media sites and community connections.

A provider is called on by their family to help with urgent elder care needs.  The provider soon realizes the help needed requires more than one person.  The provider (customer) connects with supportive care (providers) staff through the digital platform to fill the need.   The provider converted to a consumer.  The consumer can now explain the means to access help through the digital platform reaching their base across social media sites and community connections.

The ability to use the digital platform is easily demonstrated - creating cross side opportunities - where either side brings in both customers and providers. This is organically inherent in the utilization process which strengthens the over all digital platforms sustainability.

Home Care Path Wisconsin Governors Business Plan Contest Medical Need

Home Care Path is preparing their submission for the Wisconsin Governor's Business Plan Contest.  Part of this will involve communicating how the digital platform will benefit the medical providers throughout the State.

Medical providers are the hospital and nursing homes serving the local community.  This medical delivery is dependent upon Medicare and Medicaid funding to meet their tight budgets.  The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Administrators have enacted regulations that require a patient to present very ill to quality for a paid stay in the hospital - nursing home setting.

The Medical providers - the hospital and nursing home staff realize a patient may need more help at home - but does not present ill enough to be admitted for medical care.  Insurance funds want the patient population spending most of their time recovering at home supported by non-medical staff.  The Home Care Path digital platform creates a way for the patient not meeting level of care to access help for the home setting.

Finding non- medical help at home for a patient discharging from a hospital - nursing home setting has become more important than ever.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have enacted regulations that limit reimbursement for a patient who is readmitted to a hospital - nursing home within 30 days of discharge.  This means the patient that returns to the hospital - nursing home for care within 30 days of discharge - consumes non- reimbursable service.  This is a huge unexpected expense for the hospital - nursing home and can lead to loss of a location.

Medical providers are realizing the responsible tasks of discharge must involve assisting the patient to access non- medical service that can help at home.  The Home Care Path digital platform is an inclusive modal that creates access across underserved areas.  This is a community health intervention aimed at supporting improved outcomes.  This is care assurance at the community level with activity that strengthens reimbursement for local hospital and nursing home providers.

Home Care Path Wisconsin Governors Business Plan Contest First Call

Home Care Path is preparing their submission to the Wisconsin Governor's Business Plan Contest.  This involves establishing a digital platform designed to improve a families access to supportive home care staff in real time.

In the senior care industry supportive home care is the first called in to help.  A supportive home care provider can do most anything a family member would do if they could be there.  Supportive home care is non-medical so health insurance does not reimburse for this service.

The Home Care Path digital platform will be a technological tool that helps the supportive home care worker and the family with an elder who needs a hand right  now - connect.

Home Care Path Wisconsin Governors Business Plan Contest Staffing Stages

Home Care Path is preparing their submission for the Wisconsin Governor's Business Plan Contest.  The submission will involve a digital solution capable of serving consumers throughout the stages of the Supportive Home Care Cycle.

Stage Three:  End of life , need more staff , trying to cover over nights and weekends

The certainty throughout the stages of the supportive home care cycle is the ongoing need to staff the hours that can assure the senior's right to remain in their own home.  Home Care Path is implementing a technological tool designed to support a families ability to procure care throughout the stages of the supportive home care cycle.

Home Care Path Starting Block Social Impact Initiative Under Served Areas

Home Care Path is happy to report they have been chosen to participate in the second stage of the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative.  The US Census Bureau calculates the number of people in the United States over the age of 65 will nearly double from 2012 to 2050.  A big portion of this aging population will elect to live out the remaining years of their lives at home.

This means elders residing in the comfort of their own home will need services that can support their choice.  Wisconsin can benefit from a new modal of delivery that can place elder care provision in to the under served rural areas.

Home Care Path has submitted a unique application that produces elder care business operators - who can then provide service in their chosen community.  This is a pragmatic means to assure elder care service is available in these under served pockets throughout the State of Wisconsin.

This involves a multi sided economic digital platform that connects the Care Management Organization, the Aging and Disability County Resource Center, and the medical Hospital and Nursing home to functioning elder care services in the area.  This saves time which is a measure of cost as relates to labor with referrals.

Home Care Path would like to take this opportunity to wish all the participants in the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative the best of luck.

Home Care Path Starting Block Social Impact Initiative Aging Population

Home Care Path is happy to report they have been chosen to participate in the 2nd stage of the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative Madison Wisconsin.  According to the United States Census Bureau, the number of people in the United States over the age of 65 will nearly double from 2012 to 2050.

A large percentage of this sector will choose to live out the remainder of their lives in the comfort of their own home.  The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the need for services that support an elders efforts to remain in their home will skyrocket through 2026.

Wisconsin is a primarily rural setting that requires those hoping to improve the ability of elders to remain in their chosen location to think beyond the typical delivery modals.  The need is here , the access to service is not yet available.

A key piece of the Home Care Path process is safety.  This is forming connections within the network to assure those working alone are communicating with others for the purpose of checking in.  This is a collaborative approach that is seen as a normal way of performing the tasks for the senior.

Home Care Path plans to implement a unique proprietary blend that " Transitions Care Givers To Elder Care Business Operators" as a service.  This is guiding an individual's efforts to start their own elder care business.   The calculations clearly indicate a high need for this type of organization.

Home Care Path Starting Block Social Impact Initiative Not Franchise

Home Care Path is happy to report they have been chosen to advance to the second stage of the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative.  Home Care Path's proposal involves implementation of a unique proprietary blend that " Transitions Care Givers To Elder Care Business Operators " as a service.  This is guiding an individual's effort to start their own elder care business.

How is the Home Care Path approach - different than a senior care franchise?

Franchise modals focus on densely populated areas to secure the contribution mandates - this leaves the underserved pockets which Wisconsin has many - without service.  Home Care Path's approach is less costly than a franchise and supports individual providers who deliver their service close to home.  The business operator can grow at their own speed and stay doing what they enjoy longer.

The Home Care Path style fosters collaboration between individual providers in a competitive market sector.  This assures mutually beneficial interactions in an economic approach that respects long standing anti -trust legislation.

Home Care Path is wishing those participating in the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative the best of luck!

Home Care Path 2nd Stage Starting Block Social Impact Initiative CMS Medicare Medicaid

Home Care Path is excited to report they have been chosen to advance to the second stage of the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative Madison Wisconsin.  An important piece of understanding the benefits to the Home Care Path proposal is looking at the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid regulatory mandates.  The Home Care Path approach supports the ability of hospital and nursing homes to better comply with these relatively new Medicare - Medicaid regulations.  Medicare - Medicaid are the primary insurance pay source for medical care of our elderly population.

Inpatient level of care:

Patients must be very ill to be able to meet the level of care that reimburses a hospital - nursing home for an inpatient stay.  Medical providers need a predictable service they can refer those people who obviously need help but do not quality for medical care.  This population will benefit from the Home Care Path Starting Block Social Impact Initiative proposal.

Limited reimbursement for re-admission in less than 30 days of discharge:

Medicare - Medicaid does not reimburse a hospital - nurse home for a readmission that occurs within 30 days of discharge.  Hospital - nursing homes must have access to a service that can help when the patient no longer meets level of care and must be discharged home.  Rural community hospital - nursing home total received revenue in tight budgets are more dependent upon Medicare - Medicaid payments.  The non- reimbursement of care in these rural community hospital - nursing homes can create un-sustainable loss.  The service provision being created through Home Care Path's submission to the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative helps reduce non- paid readmissions which assures the facility can continue to maintain operation in that location.

Home Care Path would like to wish all those participating in the Starting Block Social Impact Initiative the best of luck!

Where is the social concern:

Elderly tend to be more frequent users of a communities hospital and nursing home resources.  Medicare and Medicaid have released regulations that produce shorter hospital and nursing home stays - expecting the ill to spend more time recovering at home.

How does a family find the help they need for an elder who needs more support at home:

Home Care Path is anticipating this growing need for more support in the home setting for the elderly by participating in a Social Impact Initiative held by Starting Block in Madison Wisconsin.

What is Home Care Path proposing:

Home Care Path plans to implement a unique proprietary blend that " Transitions Care Givers To Elder Care Business Operators" as a service.  This is guiding an individual's efforts to start their own elder care business.

Can this be monetized to demonstrate sustainability:
