“Statement of program service accomplishments -------------------------------------------- since 1995, housecall providers, pc has been the solution for over 8,000 community members whose medical needs could not be met in a traditional clinical setting. These chronically ill people, many of whom are homebound, are often forced to rely on emergency room visits and hospitalizations to manage their multiple chronic illnesses. These trips take their toll on an already over-burdened body and are incredibley costly to our health care system. Housecall providers, pc has been a trusted source for delivering home-based primary care throughout the portland metro area. Since our modest beginnings, we have grown to serve more than 2,000 patients and families a year and expanded our services to include transition and palliative care services. By training our doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to implement team-based, proactive primary medical care where our patients live, we help prevent those expensive trips to the hospital and unnecessary skilled nursing facility stays. Not only does this set a new standard for the quality of care patients can expect at home, it improves patient health outcomes and lowers health care costs. Through our six-year involvement in the medicare demonstration project, independence at home, housecall providers, pc along with 14 other program sites across the u.s., is helping to prove to the centers for medicare and medicaid services ("cms") that value-based reimbursement, not fee-for-service, is the appropriate payment model to provide home-based medical care for the vulnerable population we serve. When housecall providers, pc joined the careoregon family in may of 2017, we welcomed the advanced illness care team into our continuum of home-based medical care. Unifying these services has made care transitions smoother, cut down on patient wait times and made communication more efficient. The team includes nurses, social workers, outreach specialists, a chaplain, and a pharmacist who all have the flexibility to make home, clinic and hospital visits. The advanced illness care team works closely with providers and health care teams to focus on the patient's goals of care, symptom management and care coordination. Housecall providers, pc employees also provide healthcare support to other careoregon entities.”
