Home Health & Hospice Week
New HH Advocacy Group Includes Amazon Health
A new home care advocacy group is on the scene, and it includes one well-known heavy hitter. Amazon Care, Landmark Health, Signify Health, Dispatch Health, Elara Caring, Intermountain Healthcare, Ascension and Home Instead have formed Moving Health Home. The group aims “to fundamentally change the way policymakers think about the home as a site of clinical service,” it says in a release. “Americans want to receive health care in their homes, evidence from the pandemic shows its possible, and data proves it is safe and effective. Therefore, is time to change reimbursement models and the culture around institutional care to allow for Americans to choose their home as a site of care.” More information is at www.movinghealthhome.org.
