Advancing a Home-Based Serious Illness Care Ecosystem: Recent Policy Advancements and Future Directions

Home-based serious illness care can improve access, care coordination, and quality of life for older adults with complex health and social needs, yet significant policy, regulatory, and payment challenges continue to limit broader adoption and scale. This webinar will explore recent policy advancements and further opportunities to strengthen the home-based care ecosystem by addressing administrative and regulatory barriers, improving alignment across Medicare, Medicaid, and other federal and state programs, and advancing payment and accountability models that support comprehensive, person-centered care. 

Objectives:

• Discuss the policy landscape for home-based serious illness care for older adults, including recent policy advancements and emerging CMS priorities related to advanced primary care. 
• Identify key regulatory, administrative, and policy barriers that impede the delivery and scaling of a home-based medical care ecosystem.
• Explore actionable policy strategies to improve access and strengthen accountability to support the sustainable scaling of a home-based medical care ecosystem for older adults with serious illness.
