As CMS’ Independence at Home demonstration ends, experts discuss next steps for scaling up primary care for the home-bound population
The CMS Innovation Center’s Independence at Home demonstration has worked with medical practices to test the effectiveness of delivering comprehensive primary care services to chronically ill patients at home. With that demonstration project coming to an end on Dec. 31, a panel of experts at this week’s Primary Care Transformation Summit discussed what it will take to scale up home-based primary care for the home-bound population.
Bruce Leff, M.D., professor of medicine and director of the Center for Transformative Geriatric Research at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, kicked off the panel by describing the population being served.
