Brookings Study Cites C-TAC Key Statistics Report
According to the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC), a Washington advocacy group, the number of people over age 85 with multiple chronic conditions will rise to 9 million by 2030, from 4.2 million in 2000. Moreover, beneficiaries with five or more chronic conditions represent the fastest-growing segment of the Medicare population.
At a time when so many of the country’s health-care and fiscal problems seem intractable, this paper surfaces some good news. A win-win alternative, one that can reduce both cost and suffering, is at hand. With some nudging, it could move fairly rapidly into the mainstream of health care. Home-based primary care, as this alternative approach is called, is “one of the big opportunities in health care.”
C-TAC is honored to have been mentioned in the Brookings Governance Study: Opportunity Knocks at Home: How Home-Based Primary Care Offers a Win-Win for U.S. Health Care. Read the full article here.
