Rethinking Post-Acute Care to Drive Value – It’s time to rethink post-acute care strategies in order to drive value. Innovation is born from identifying and understanding what’s not working. A great example is post-acute care (PAC); spending has more than doubled in the last decade alone [1] with no end in sight; and Medicare PAC expenditure is nearly $60 billion per year [2]. This is a significant area of untapped cost savings opportunity for health insurance providers; and now is the time to innovate.
