Basin Insight For Senior Living Decisions

Basin is a consultation service designed to formulate an elders guiding assets to better understand the options available with a senior living change.  Basin is a biopsychosocial approach to assisting elders with two popular senior living moves. 

1. a geographical move

2. a transition from private payment to public funded  programs

A Basin consultant structures the elders information in an analytic fashion to produce a process of monitoring that can be utilized to sustain the household.  The product becomes a customized communication of the seniors complex real time needs. 

This prevents involuntary placement in an undesired care delivery setting.  Families can be assured the costs connected to the level of care appropriately align with the elders actual need.  Less risk of an up charge for unnecessary service. 

The data bank is structured to facilitate the communication required in meetings with County benefit specialists working to properly determine eligibility for public funded programs.  This can improve the families understanding of the process for procuring additional help for the elder family member.

A Basin consultant typically meets the elder during a hospital or nursing home stay when the social services department has encouraged the family to get more help.  2014 rates are 39.00 per hour.  Basin is a program delivered though Home Care Path.

Family Care Program Expands In Wisconsin

Seven Counties in Wisconsin (Brown, Door, Kewaunee, Marinette, Menominee, Oconto, and Shawano) will have access to the State of Wisconsin administered Family Care Program.  This facilitates the operation of Care Management Organizations (CMO's) who staff multi county regions.  The Care Management Organizations contract with local service providers (www.homecarepath.com ) who can deliver the needed in home support.  The County operates the Aging and Disability Resource Center which intakes residents for assessment to determine eligibility for public funded programming.

Family Care Program participants are typically individuals who demonstrate a nursing home level of care on the (FES) Functional Eligibility Screen and possess assets below the listed limit.  The benefits specialist working through the (ADRC) Aging and Disability Resource Center performs the screening and then provides the individual and family with details about the varied programming. 

The State of Wisconsin would prefer to have 2 or more (CMO's) Care Management Organizations functioning in the defined multi county region.  This allows the benefits specialist in the Aging and Disability Resource Center to give the individual and family multiple options to choose from.  The Care Management Organizations will employ a (Team) social worker, registered nurse, and unit clerk, to help you manage your Medicaid benefit. 

The teams can be more responsive to an individuals change in condition and coordinate the services to fill the need.  This is a needs based approach.  This can be difficult for the community at first to understand because not every one receives the same services.  The person receives customized service  that can meet their individual need.  In this model the entre Family Care population is sharing the resources to serve more people.

Home Care Path is an in home supportive care service that contracts with Care Management Organizations to serve individuals who need help with meals, bathing, dressing, laundry, medication reminders, walking, scheduled toileting, transfers, memory loss, and so much more.  Home Care Path contracts with Family Care, Partnership, IRIS, Long Term Care Insurance, VA Non-service Related Pension, and private pay at 20.00 per hour to help elders in their home.

Diagnosis of Hep C Not So Scarey With New Oral Meds

Hepatitis C is a virus (inflamed liver) spread when exposed to infected blood.  Recent drug studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrate major improvement in treating Hepatitis C.

Formulary combinations (Hep C cocktail) Simeprevir, Ledipasvir, and Sofosbuvir, to name a few can be delivered as an oral administration. Marketing oral drugs to consumers will take the complexity out of periods of medical treatment. 

The oral consumption of Hep C cocktail has demonstrated sustained virologic response in recent trials.  Simply, the oral medications seem to work to reduce the presence of the Hepatitis C virus in the body.  This can facilitate the utilization of an on going monitoring process that can be conducted by the primary medical doctor in the community clinic setting. 

The pharmaceutical industry is now challenged to produce a supply chain capable of distributing an affordable form of this very important medication.  This is clear progress in the treatment of the Hepatitis C virus.

PATH ALONG Transitional Consultant Inpatient Risk Of Infection

Current data indicates 5 to 10 percent of all patients nation wide are exposed to and develop an infection with a hospital or nursing home stay.  Wisconsin's PATH ALONG program coordinates an inpatient consultant who can assist seniors with a customized plan of care.

Technology today is testing a breath analyzer (Isomark Canary Breath Analyzer) where infection can be noted in the body up to 2 days before an elevated white blood cell count would display for inpatient lab staff.  That sneaky infection is brewing even before the traditional blood lab test can detect it. 

Every individual discharging from a hospital or nursing home carries a risk of infection with them in to the home setting.  This can be especially problematic for frail elders who just desperately want to be home.

An infection can cause some inpatient discharges to revert from the in home recovery stage back to the acute need for rescue stage .  PATH ALONG consultants work with the elder to determine where the chronic event resides on the health continuum.  This can bring the most likely expression of acute symptoms to light.

The connection to proper treatment is strengthened by defining the primary care rapid path.  This is an evidence based approach that fulfills the care assurance role.  This is an imperative  piece of delivering a measure of prevention while improving the seniors quality of life.  Some elders transitioning from a hospital or nursing home to a community dwelling can benefit from the service a PATH ALONG Transitional Consultant can deliver.
