引導改進癡呆體驗（GUIDE）模式旨在增加護理協調和對護理人員的支持
BRONX, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Essen Health Care is proud to announce its selection by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to participate in the groundbreaking Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Model, a new Medicare alternative payment model. This initiative is designed to enhance care coordination and provide crucial support to people living with dementia and their caregivers.
紐約布朗克斯，2024年8月20日 / PRNewswire / - Essen醫療保健自豪地宣佈，它被康哲藥業（CMS）選中參與突破性的引導改進癡呆體驗（GUIDE）模式，這是一種新的醫療保險替代支付模式。該倡議旨在加強護理協調併爲患有癡呆症及其護理人員提供重要支持。
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醫療保健加入了全國近400名參與者，共同開發旨在改善獲取基本服務和支持，包括臨時護理的癡呆症護理項目（DCP）。該模式賦予護理人員權力，並增強那些患有癡呆症的人留在家中和社區生活的能力。
"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."
康哲藥業管理員Chiquita Brooks-LaSure表示：「CMS很高興與Essen醫療保健在GUIDE模式下合作。」 GUIDE代表了醫療保險支持患有癡呆症的人的變革性方法。該項目不僅設想了這些個體的新護理途徑，而且還減輕了對護理人員的壓力，使更多的美國人能夠在熟悉的環境中而不是機構設置中獲得所需的護理。”
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醫療保健通過創新方法強調其致力於增強對弱勢群體的護理，「我們一直致力於爲最需要的人提供充滿同情心和全面的護理。我們參與GUIDE模式是對這一承諾的自然延伸，因爲我們努力改善患有癡呆症的人及其護理人員的生活質量。通過專注於協調護理並提供關鍵支持服務，我們可以幫助家庭應對癡呆症的挑戰，使他們所愛的人能夠留在家中和社區的舒適環境中。我們很榮幸能與CMS在這一重要事業中合作，並期待對我們服務的人生產生有意義的影響。」 Essen醫療保健創始人兼首席醫療官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模型於2024年7月1日推出，爲癡呆症患者的關鍵支持服務引入了一種新的付款系統，包括全面的、以人爲本的評估、護理計劃和護理協調。參與者還可以全天候與跨學科護理團隊成員或熱線聯繫，並獲得某些支持照料服務，以支持護理者。該模型的亮點之一是導航員的角色，他們將幫助癡呆症患者及其護理者進入臨床和非臨床服務，例如餐食配送和交通運輸，通過社區機構。
"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."
「參與GUIDE模型將爲患有癡呆症及其護理者提供寶貴的資源，」說道Imelda Tavas，首席行政官。「通過這個模型，我們可以提供教育、支持和照料服務，對護理者和他們的親人的日常生活產生重大影響。」
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參與者代表了各種各樣的醫療保健提供者，包括大型學術醫療中心、小型醫療小組、社區機構、衛生系統和臨終關懷機構。這一舉措與拜登政府關於增加高質量護理和支持護理者的行政命令以及全國阿爾茨海默病防治計劃相一致。
