纽约布朗克斯，2024年8月20日 / PRNewswire / - Essen医疗保健自豪地宣布，它被康哲药业（CMS）选中参与突破性的引导改进痴呆体验（GUIDE）模式，这是一种新的医疗保险替代支付模式。该倡议旨在加强护理协调并为患有痴呆症及其护理人员提供重要支持。
Under the GUIDE Model, Essen Health Care joins nearly 400 participants nationwide in developing Dementia Care Programs (DCPs) aimed at improving access to essential services and support, including respite care. This model empowers caregivers and strengthens the ability of those with dementia to remain in their homes and communities.
在GUIDE模式下，Essen医疗保健加入了全国近400名参与者，共同开发旨在改善获取基本服务和支持，包括临时护理的痴呆症护理项目（DCP）。该模式赋予护理人员权力，并增强那些患有痴呆症的人留在家中和社区生活的能力。
"CMS is excited to partner with Essen Health Care under the GUIDE Model," said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. "GUIDE represents a transformative approach to how Medicare supports people living with dementia. The program not only envisions new care pathways for these individuals but also reduces the strain on caregivers, enabling more Americans to receive the care they need in familiar surroundings rather than institutional settings."
康哲药业管理员Chiquita Brooks-LaSure表示：“CMS很高兴与Essen医疗保健在GUIDE模式下合作。” GUIDE代表了医疗保险支持患有痴呆症的人的变革性方法。该项目不仅设想了这些个体的新护理途径，而且还减轻了对护理人员的压力，使更多的美国人能够在熟悉的环境中而不是机构设置中获得所需的护理。”
Essen Health Care, has emphasized its dedication to enhancing care for vulnerable populations through innovative approaches, "we have always been committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care to those who need it most. Our participation in the GUIDE Model is a natural extension of that commitment, as we strive to improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their caregivers. By focusing on coordinated care and offering critical support services, we can help families navigate the challenges of dementia, allowing their loved ones to remain in the comfort of their homes and communities. We are honored to partner with CMS in this important endeavor and look forward to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve." said Dr. Sumir Sahgal, Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Essen Health Care.
Essen医疗保健通过创新方法强调其致力于增强对弱势群体的护理，“我们一直致力于为最需要的人提供充满同情心和全面的护理。我们参与GUIDE模式是对这一承诺的自然延伸，因为我们努力改善患有痴呆症的人及其护理人员的生活质量。通过专注于协调护理并提供关键支持服务，我们可以帮助家庭应对痴呆症的挑战，使他们所爱的人能够留在家中和社区的舒适环境中。我们很荣幸能与CMS在这一重要事业中合作，并期待对我们服务的人生产生有意义的影响。” Essen医疗保健创始人兼首席医疗官Sumir Sahgal博士表示。
Launched on July 1, 2024, the GUIDE Model introduces a new payment system for key supportive services for dementia patients, including comprehensive, person-centered assessments, care plans, and care coordination. Participants will also have 24/7 access to an interdisciplinary care team member or helpline and receive certain respite services to support caregivers. One of the model's highlights is the role of Care Navigators, who will assist dementia patients and their caregivers in accessing both clinical and non-clinical services, such as meal delivery and transportation, through community-based organizations.
GUIDE模型于2024年7月1日推出，为痴呆症患者的关键支持服务引入了一种新的付款系统，包括全面的、以人为本的评估、护理计划和护理协调。参与者还可以全天候与跨学科护理团队成员或热线联系，并获得某些支持照料服务，以支持护理者。该模型的亮点之一是导航员的角色，他们将帮助痴呆症患者及其护理者进入临床和非临床服务，例如餐食配送和交通运输，通过社区机构。
"Essen Health Care's participation in the GUIDE Model will provide invaluable resources to those living with dementia and their caregivers," said Imelda Tavas, Chief Administrative Officer. "Through this model, we can offer education, support, and respite services that make a significant difference in the daily lives of caregivers and their loved ones."
“参与GUIDE模型将为患有痴呆症及其护理者提供宝贵的资源，”说道Imelda Tavas，首席行政官。“通过这个模型，我们可以提供教育、支持和照料服务，对护理者和他们的亲人的日常生活产生重大影响。”
GUIDE Participants represent a diverse range of healthcare providers, including large academic medical centers, small group practices, community-based organizations, health systems, and hospice agencies. This initiative aligns with the Biden Administration's Executive Order on Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers and the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease.
GUIDE参与者代表了各种各样的医疗保健提供者，包括大型学术医疗中心、小型医疗小组、社区机构、卫生系统和临终关怀机构。这一举措与拜登政府关于增加高质量护理和支持护理者的行政命令以及全国阿尔茨海默病防治计划相一致。
