NHPCO NewsLine Spring 2018 - 5
Message From Edo
One Year In
With the release of this issue of NewsLine, I've marked my first anniversary with
NHPCO. 2017 was a whirlwind of learning and listening, meeting new friends, and
sketching out our future. If 2017 was a year for education and listening, 2018 is a
year for change and action.
Change is not just on the horizon-it's already here. Accountable Care Organizations,
Independence at Home, Value Based Purchasing and various other models are
competing for patients and scarce Medicare dollars. As I traveled the country last year,
I heard concern about that change. But along with that concern, I heard many
common themes that give me hope for our collective future-a shared set of values, a
commitment to the patients and families we serve, and a communal pride that we are
the absolute best at what we do. These principles-which emanate from the heart of
hospice-are what will serve as the guiding principles for action in 2018 and beyond:
* We are the interdisciplinary, person-centered, integrated, coordinated benefit that
Medicare has been covering for over 35 years. What is secondary and new to the
rest of Medicare, is central to Hospice.
* We do much more than provide care to individuals - we care for caregivers and
communities as well.
* We must better communicate our value to our payers and partners - government,
managed care, and others.
* Once we establish that foundation, we must energize ourselves - and our
volunteers and caregivers - to make sure that we communicate our value to
legislative and regulatory decision makers.
* Having energized ourselves and communicated our value, and having established
a solid foundation, it is time to boldly establish a more durable vehicle for
providing more care, without arbitrary rules (six months, no concurrent care), and
that is not subject to burdensome and non-productive oversight and compliance
activity.
* Concurrently, we will focus on pre-hospice serious illness care that is informed
and motivated by the same focus on interdisciplinary, person-centered care. This
team-based approach has been our bedrock for over 35 years and will continue to
be at our core going forward.
I'm grateful to lead NHPCO at this important time, and look forward to working
with and for all of you in the coming years.
Edo Banach, JD, President and CEO
