Opportunities Abound for Hospices in Primary Care

Primary Care First is on its way to opening doors for hospice providers to reach patients and their families further upstream in their health care trajectories. While the implementation of some aspects of the initiative have been delayed, the application period for the program’s second year is underway. Tracking patient outcomes through data and workflow processes will be crucial for hospices looking to participate in this bundle of payment models, which could offer new revenue streams and referral relationships.
