NAACOS: Reducing Hospitalizations in Dementia Patients
Accountable Care Organizations lack the capabilities to manage the healthcare cost of patients with dementia, a cohort that incurs 27% of all Medicare hospitalizations. These patients are not able to self-manage their health and are very rarely engaged effectively in traditional care management programs.

ACOs should be thinking strategically about how they leverage the benefits of GUIDE on behalf of their dementia patients. While the program promises shared savings through fewer hospitalizations and ED visits, there are risks that a well-prepared partner can help you avoid.

Traditional metrics in dementia care have focused primarily on patient outcomes and clinical efficiencies.
