A panel of top investors convened in a webcast sponsored by HomeCare100 and moderated by partner Christopher Donovan of Foley & Lardner to discuss their purpose built home care models designed to achieve higher reimbursement for better outcomes within a population of higher acuity patients. The panel discussed their investment rationales, partnership designs and the use of technology both to deliver care and to harvest outcomes data deemed necessary to document better outcomes.
The discussion took place against the backdrop of significant innovation in home health delivery away from the traditional Medicare Fee for Service volume model to a variety of delivery and payment models including: acute care at home, skilled nursing at home, urgent home health care, Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) focused care, and home based primary care as evidenced by many investor backed companies espousing these models today.

In all models, the panel recognized the need for home care agencies to participate. Read more.
