Thesis (M.S.)--Utica College, 2014.

Inpatient medical care among elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions is one of the most expensive forms of care in the current Healthcare system. An increase in the number of hospital readmission rates among this group of elderly patients has also exposed several flaws in our current system. To be clear, the issue is not merely limited to costs. Rather, of equal and considerable importance is the manner in which the requisite care is administered and the timing of that care. In an effort to combat the ill effects of the current form of dysfunctional care afforded the subject group, primary care physicians, hospitals, and health insurance companies alike have voluntarily started using care coordination programs to help decrease the number of hospital readmissions. The implementation of these programs is not mandatory.

520 $a Inpatient medical care among elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions is one of the most expensive forms of care in the current Healthcare system. An increase in the number of hospital readmission rates among this group of elderly patients has also exposed several flaws in our current system. To be clear, the issue is not merely limited to costs. Rather, of equal and considerable importance is the manner in which the requisite care is administered and the timing of that care. In an effort to combat the ill effects of the current form of dysfunctional care afforded the subject group, primary care physicians, hospitals, and health insurance companies alike have voluntarily started using care coordination programs to help decrease the number of hospital readmissions. The implementation of these programs is not mandatory.
520 $a This capstone examined whether a mandate by The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services for all Medicare Beneficiaries enrolled in a Medicare HMO Advantage Plan, with multiple chronic conditions, would benefit from a care coordination program by having reduced hospital readmission rates. Two care coordination models were examined; The Guided Care Model and the Transitional Care Model. In addition to examining the two coordination models, this paper also examined the key components of: 1) care coordination, 2) the existing barriers to care coordination among elderly patients with chronic conditions, and 3) the high readmission rates of elderly patients with chronic conditions. In the end, the findings will reveal that the timely implementation of a care coordination program reduces hospital readmissions rates and improves the quality of care that a patient receives.
