With an emphasis on cost reduction, we incorporate all aspects of medical care of the individual by reducing re-hospitalizations, reducing iatrogenic factors, reducing poly-pharm-medications, and reducing emergency room visits. We also provide succinct Transitional Care discharge summaries to Primary Care Physicians, insurance Case Managers and approved Home Health Agencies, often communicating difficult decisions with families to honor advanced directives. The Transitional Care Specialists are committed to effectively change and contribute a purposeful reduction to the overall healthcare dollars spent nationally.
A Growing Industry
The population in the United States is estimated to be over 323 million and the population in Colorado is estimated to be over 5.4 million. In 2014, the United States spent approximately 17.1% of its GDP on health care. Current literature estimated the population of 65 years of age and older in the United States will more than double between now and the year 2050, to 80 million. Most of this growth will occur between 2010 and 2030, when the ‘baby-boomers’ generation enters their elderly years reflecting a 2.8% annual growth. By comparison, annual growth average 1.3% during the preceding 20 years. The combination of the growing elderly population and the lower national birth rates leave a disproportional number of Americans paying for the rapidly rising cost of health care.
As the number of older Americans continues to grow, the need for the role model provided by Transitional Care Specialists for the elderly population will necessitate effective and efficient cost measures for their continued care. Transitional Care Specialists is a professional medical practice dedicated to providing quality, comprehensive and cost effective medical services to the individual patient with an emphasis on Geriatric and Rehabilitation Medicine and have exceptional rapport with the rehabilitation and nursing facilities in context of cost savings and revenue strategies.
