With over 53 million unpaid caregivers, the need for training, support, and services is more pressing than ever. CMS Deputy Administrator and Medicare Director Meena Seshamani shared the work CMS is doing to support caregivers today at the ENGAGE State of the Majority Summit along with AARP and Congresswomen Linda T. Sanchez and Jen Kiggans. CMS has taken bold action to increase training and support for these caregivers – including creating new caregiver training codes, support for care navigation, community health centers.

Research shows that #Medicare patients go to specialists more often than they did 20 years ago: bit.ly/specialty-care-blog. If these clinicians aren’t communicating with each other, it can result in fragmented care, leading to costly health outcomes like avoidable emergency department visits. The CMS Innovation Center leads pilot programs (called alternative payment models) to support better coordination between specialists, like cardiologists, orthopedists, or nephrologists and primary care providers. To learn more about #specialtycare coordination that best meets patients’ needs and preferences, go to: go.cms.gov/specialty-care. Read other Key Concepts pages for clear definitions and examples of common health care topics: go.cms.gov/keycncpts.

Today CMS announced the proposed Increasing Organ Transplant Access Model: go.cms.gov/iota. The mandatory model is designed to support better outcomes for people living with #kidneydisease by incentivizing an increased number of – and more #equitable access to – #kidneytransplants. The model would also promote care coordination and patient-centeredness in the kidney transplant process. The model is part of a wider effort by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - Organ Transplant Affinity Group, a collaboration involving CMS and the Health Resources and Services Administration to increase equity in organ transplantation, improve accountability for organ transplants in the U.S., and increase the availability and use of donated organs: go.cms.gov/otag.
