223: What would it take for home-based care to take off? With Medically Home's Dr. Matt Richards
Description
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services released the Acute Hospital Care at Home payment waiver. The action was expected to usher in a new era of home-based care. But while it’s certainly grown in recent years, frankly, that massive shift hasn’t happened. The question is, why?
This week, host Abby Burns invites Dr. Matthew Richards, Senior Medical Director of home-care enablement company Medically Home, to explore the role that home-base care could play in the future of healthcare, and to unpack the misconceptions that prevent home-based care from playing a larger role in the healthcare ecosystem today.
