Reducing Hospital Readmissions - Part 2

00:00 /

Every person that has ever spent a day as an in-patient in a hospital has experienced a care transition. And every person that has stayed in a hospital in the last several years has seen changes in the way in-patient stays and discharges are handled. One in six of Medicare beneficiaries discharge from a hospital were readmitted within thirty days during 2009. More than 1/3 were readmitted within 90 days. In 2009 alone, the cost to taxpayers for unplanned re-admissions was more than $19 billion!

The good news is that these unplanned re-admissions can be drastically reduced by observing some fairly simple guidelines for post-discharge care. Join Sam and Brad as they discuss the details of Griswold Home Care’s approach to Care Transitions, and explore what other organizations are doing to help keep discharged patients safe and healthy in their own homes. This particular session describes in more detail the steps Griswold Home Care is taking to help reduce re-admissions, including specific recommendations for each of the four diagnoses: Myocardial Infarction, Congestive Heart Failure, Pneumonia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

For more information about care transitions, please contact Sam or Brad at (770) 908-0707, or send and email to brad@gscatlanta.com, or sam@gscatlanta.com.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for more than 20 years.

Concierge Medicine

00:00 /

Where did the preferred old days of extended doctor –patient relationships go, in today’s healthcare system? Many are not only asking the question, but both physicians and patients are taking steps to get back to more of an extended knowledge and quality time relationship. Both physicians and patients are meeting their needs by joining the ranks of over 4400 primary care physicians practicing concierge medicine. Concierge medicine or “direct care” is a growing trend whereby the patient pays the physician an additional financial “retainer” (annually or by month) for enhanced benefits such as: 24/7 access, cell phone access, no wait times for appts, coordination of care and longer visit times.

Although there is controversy as to whether or not this delivery model promotes a two tiered health system, both patient and physician satisfaction levels are quite high. Physicians typically have more time to spend with patients during in office appointments as they care for a much smaller patient population (about 300-1000) than the traditional practice (3000-4000 patients). Typical services not included with a concierge physician: labs, ER visits, hospitalizations, medications, and consults outside of the practice.

Join concierge provider Dr. Ellie Campbell and Michael Tetreault, Editor-In-Chief of Concierge Medicine Today, as they discuss this growing trend from both a local medical practice and national trend perspective.

Mark Bell/ Chief Strategy Officer & Chief Executive Officer, Brand Bank

Mark R. Bell, D.Phil., M.St., was formerly Chief Operating Officer for the sister company of Brand Bank – Brand Properties, a real estate and development firm. In these capacities he has led a number of transactions including the purchase of US Premium Finance, a national premium finance company, the establishment of the Villages of Gwinnett Stadium (noted as the “Deal of the Decade” by Atlanta Business Chronicle), and the build out of a consumer finance partnership with The Home Depot. He also underwrote and bid over $1.2 billion of distressed loans, largely held by the FDIC, which resulted in the successful purchase of nearly $250MM of loans and the later establishment of a note buying fund (NoteSouth). Dr. Bell led the $200MM recapitalization of the Brand Bank by a group of investors including the Carlyle Group, the Stephens Group, and the Cousins family office. Subsequent to the recapitalization, he helped lead the Bank to nearly 30% annual loan growth. Dr. Bell is also currently a Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor of Finance at Emory University’s Center for Alternative Investments, where he teaches on a range of “frontier” investments.

Prior, he was the director of strategy and a private equity investor at D. E. Shaw & Co., which by the time of his departure had become the world’s largest hedge fund. Dr. Bell was directly involved the fund’s rapid expansion into illiquid investing—he played an integral role in establishing a “side pocket” in the fund which became an engine for investing in alternative energy assets, international real estate, and traditional private equity and venture capital deals. He also helped to launch the firm’s efforts in reinsurance. He became an integral part of the private equity team and he went on to lead transaction work in wind energy, clean coal, and biofuels. Dr. Bell also worked at McKinsey & Co. where he was involved in the then rapidly deregulating energy industry.

Dr. Bell was the valedictorian of his Stanford Class, graduating with a 4.0 and honors, and received a Marshall Scholarship to study at Oxford University where he received his doctorate and masters degree and was both a Jowett Senior Scholar and the Vice Chancellor’s scholar. In Oxford he also served as a college lecturer at Balliol and Christ Church Colleges. He is also the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship. He is the author of one scholarly monograph, six peer-reviewed articles, and several book chapters. He is on the boards of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England, the alumni association of Trinity School, Woodruff Arts Center and MAP International.

Dr. Bell is a member of the board of Councilors at the Carter Center and is a member of the U.S. Marshall Scholars Selection committee.
