Dr. Thomas Cornwell on Home Healthcare Options
It’s not whether we can afford to offer care at home. It’s how can we afford not to. Did you know that 1% of Medicare beneficiaries consume 22.5% of costs? VillageMD's Thomas Cornwell talks about how technology, data, innovative grants, and new ways of reimbursement are changing the way we can care for the whole patient, at home, and keep them out of the hospital and nursing homes longer.
Dr. Cornwell is senior medical director of Village Medical at Home and executive chairman of the Home Centered Care Institute. His career is dedicated to the national expansion of home-based primary care for those in need. With an emphasis on 'hoping for the best, and planning for the rest', Dr. Cornwell shares insight into the programs that are helping Village Medical support patients who wish to receive care at home.
