Unmet caregiver needs are a top issue to address in developing end-of-life care models encircling the Medicare landscape.
Among top priorities in current and future payment models is to improve care for those with serious and terminal illnesses, which includes caregiver support, according to Purva Rawal, chief strategy officer for the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI).
“Addressing unpaid caregiver needs [and] respite services, these are two very significant innovations that we’re testing. {It’s about the] choices they have to make day-to-day,” Rawal said at the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC)–Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) Leadership Summit.
