Transition of healthcare to outpatient and community settings

Transition, occurring in the overall healthcare system, from traditional inpatient hospital stays to greater emphasis on outpatient services and keeping care in community settings can drive the market growth. Pressures to reduce hospital readmission rates, shorten average patient stay in hospitals, controlling escalating healthcare costs, and patient preferences to receive care in more comfortable and familiar surroundings can drive the market growth. Post-acute care providers are well positioned to play an important role in this transition by providing services like skilled nursing, therapy, wound care, chronic disease management, and others in facilities located in the community instead of in acute care hospitals. This allows for a continuum of care and smoother transition from hospital to home with support services tailored to individual needs for rehabilitation or recovery. The shift towards value-based reimbursement models also creates incentives for post-acute providers to demonstrate quality outcomes and patient satisfaction in order to remain preferred partners in this restructured healthcare environment centered around delivering high quality cost-effective care.
