List the legal responsibilities in the management of Long Term Care services.
The US healthcare system is rapidly transforming to a patient-centric, value-based system to rein in unsustainable cost growth and improve the quality of healthcare delivery. This transformation includes (1) an expansion of “healthcare” to include well care; (2) new “patient-centric” and accountable care delivery models; (3) new reimbursement models that reward quality and value; and (4) the development and implementation of more efficient administrative processes that reduce fraud and waste. Fundamental to these transformational changes is the availability of real-time clinical and administrative data that can be shared at the point of care and across settings of care with providers, payers, consumers, and other related stakeholders through interoperable HIT systems.
