Resource Summary: This policy brief takes a look at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) Triple Aim framework and how medical respite care programs can add value to help health centers meet the three improvement goals of this model—population health, the patient’s experience of care, and the per capita cost of health care.
Resource Details: This policy brief is intended to illustrate how medical respite care programs can help health care systems achieve the Triple Aim, and to suggest applicable outcome measures that align these programs with the Triple Aim framework. Understanding how medical respite care adds value to health systems and facilitates a better continuum of care for very vulnerable patients may yield greater recognition and financial support for this community-based program model.
