The United States is currently facing a crisis in health care marked by unsustainable spending and quality that is poor relative to international benchmarks. Yet this is also a critical time of opportunity. Because of its focus on quality of care, the Affordable Care Act is poised to expand access to palliative care services for the sickest, most vulnerable, and therefore most costly, 5% of patients- a small group who nonetheless drive about 50% of all healthcare spending. Palliative care is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness?whatever the diagnosis or stage of illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family. Research has demonstrated palliative care?s positive impact on health care value. Patients (and family caregivers) receiving palliative care experience improved quality of life, better symptom management, lower rates of depression and anxiety, and improved survival. Because patient and family needs are met, crises are prevented, thereby directly reducing need for emergency department and hospital use and their associated costs. An epiphenomenon of better quality of care, the lower costs associated with palliative care have been observed in multiple studies. Meeting the Needs of Older Adults with Serious Illness: Challenges and Opportunities in the Age of Health Care Reform, a roadmap for effective policy and program design, brings together expert clinicians, researchers and policy leaders, who tackle key areas where real-world policy options to improve access to quality palliative care could have a substantial role in improving value. 000762627 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000762627 650_0 $$aOlder people$$xMedical care. 000762627 650_0 $$aOlder people$$xHospice care. 000762627 650_0 $$aPalliative treatment. 000762627 650_0 $$aTerminal care. 000762627 7001_ $$aKelley, Amy S.,$$eeditor. 000762627 7001_ $$aMeier, Diane E.,$$eeditor. 000762627 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tMeeting the needs of older adults with serious illness$$z9781493904068$$w(OCoLC)880554679 000762627 830_0 $$aAging medicine. 000762627 852__ $$bebk 000762627 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4939-0407-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000762627 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:762627$$pGLOBAL_SET 000762627 980__ $$aEBOOK 000762627 980__ $$aBIB 000762627 982__ $$aEbook 000762627 983__ $$aOnline 000762627 994__ $$a92$$bISE
