"Care coordination is clearly the ‘GPS’ on the road to lower cost and
higher quality. My only question is whether it can be outsourced. Before
any docs have a conniption, consider (as I understand it) that Harvard
Pilgrim has a shared services model, where the nurses are centrally
hired and ‘loaned out to the primary care sites. I know for a fact
that’s how it worked at Geisinger, where it was the INSURER that hired
the nurses. And then there is the apostasy of paying a disease, … er,
now called ‘care’ management company. The common ingredient in all
approaches is that the non-physician coordinator is on-site, seamlessly
working with the physician. The economic advantage of outsourcing is
that the cost of the FTE doesn’t fall on the PCP and one coordinator can
‘cover’ more than one clinic site.” Jaan E. Sidorov, MD, FACP, Author,
Disease Management Care Blog, Independent Health Care Consultant |
