tailieunhanh - Frameworks of Integrated Care for the Elderly: A Systematic Review

Skilled Nursing Facility SNPs allow specialization in patients who are already institutionalized. Health centers may wish to explore partnering with such plans if their physicians are serving a significant number of nursing home residents or if they contract with or own nursing homes. Typically such plans can provide a more comprehensive and coordinated package of medical care to SNF residents than would be normally provided, thus saving on high cost care and, ideally, providing better quality of life for residents. United Health’s Evercare SNF plan is one of the models for this type of plan.
