EVOLUTION OF THE BUSINESS MODEL Health care reform has spawned a new industry called Care Cycle Management. Care Cycle Management involves caring for the sickest 25% of the population that cost the healthcare system 85% of total healthcare expenditures1 by coordinating the patient’s care so that the majority is provided in the patient’s home. There are four core activities that make this evolving industry the center and future of chronic care disease management. 1. Remote patient monitoring: Daily monitoring of chronically ill patients’ alerts the providers to a potential exacerbation of their condition that could otherwise result in a hospitalization. Strategic interventions by the clinical monitoring staff provide opportunities for care coordination and patient training. 2. Physician house calls: By providing physician care in the home, patients are more likely to see a physician regularly. Visiting physician services will also help Care Cycle Management companies become the center of care management as the physician is typically the gatekeeper to the patient. 3. Home healthcare: With increased technologies and abilities of home care providers, more care is being pushed into the lower cost settings of the home. By providing intermittent nursing and rehabilitative care, care cycle managers can further reduce the need for higher cost hospitalizations. 4. Hospice: Effectively managing the entire disease cycle of the patient will lead most providers to include hospice as part of their care delivery continuum, which will lead to improved patient care and lower cost of total care. While some care cycle managers may provider other services, such as durable medical equipment or home infusion, the core services listed above will be the most effective in reducing cost for payors. The Care Cycle Management business model leverages established competencies industries and takes advantage of the opportunities that have evolved in…
