Value-Based Care Insights New Episode NOW On-Demand
Care management is critical, especially for individuals with chronic conditions like dementia, because it ensures coordinated, comprehensive, and individualized care. Currently, more than 6.7 million Americans are living with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and this number is projected to continue rising. While the impact of the disease on individuals is widely recognized, the personal and financial burden it places on caregivers is less often highlighted. On this episode Dan sits down with SmartRise Health’s CEO Vanessa Guzman and JVS Health’s Co-founder Seth Hyman to discuss the GUIDE Model, a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) supplement for caregivers of patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Gain insights into the valuable services within the GUIDE model that can support and benefit individuals living with dementia and their unpaid caregivers.
Key Takeaways:
- The Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model is a newer program, just launched on July 1, 2024, under the CMS Innovation Center that offers enhanced services for dementia care and support for caregivers.
- GUIDE’s providers must be enrolled in Medicare Part B; currently, there are 390 provider organizations participating in the model nationwide.
- Through GUIDE, providers/suppliers are establishing dementia care programs (DCPs) that provide ongoing, longitudinal care and support for people with dementia through an interdisciplinary team – ultimately improving their quality of life.
