Publication of report from Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) entitled, “Post-acute Care: Risks (and opportunities) Lurking Beneath the Surface”.

The report provides a perspective on the rapidly aging U.S. population, the evolution of payment reform and the implications of all the changes to the post-acute care sector. Medicare spending is forecast to increase from $646 billion to $1,312 billion, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 7.3%, during the next decade.

The report identifies critical success factors and their relative importance to each specific post-acute care segment including SNFs, IRFs, LTACHs, home care, hospice and senior living:

 

  1. Scale
  2. Efficiency (low cost)
  3. Quality
  4. Data-driven analytics and risk management
  5. Business intelligence
  6.  Integrated continuum of post-acute offerings
  7. Patient and caregiver engagement (self-management)
  8. Management acumen

The healthcare system is not yet prepared for the influx of aging Baby Boomers and their medical, behavioral, functional and social needs. Embedded inefficiencies exist. Facility-centric care predominates. Widespread variation in care delivery is also present.Change is inevitable.
