HHFMA Leadership Panel: a vision of the future.

Get the highlights of the HHFMA Leadership Panel, always a high point of the Financial Management Conference. This year home care and hospice providers face increasing pressure from Congress, CMS, MedPAC, Medicaid, and other payer initiatives to restrict service and compress margins. Yet home care and hospice will continue to bring value and quality to the health care delivery system and its patients. The dynamics created by the new health reform legislation--such as ACOs, bundling, and the home medical model--combined with the exploding Medicare and Medicaid populations and technological advances will change the face of home care and hospice. The esteemed panelists, representing a wide range of interests in home care and hospice, offer their five, ten, and 15 year vision into the future of the health care delivery system and the role home care and hospice will play.
