A new health care bill has come into effect since May 11, 2009 and was introduced by Senator Michael Bennett of Colorado that is supposed to improve patient care and cut down the costs of health care. It was given the name of Medicare Transitions Act of 2009 and is tailored to get the Medicare patients quick intervention and follow-up services after they are discharged from hospital.
It is tasked with giving the public a nationwide list of transition care givers who are already in their localities. They would be able to take care of Medicare patients while they are still undergoing treatment outside hospitals until they are able to take care of themselves.
The personal follow-up care would be availed to elderly patients too to enable them manage their conditions away from hospital but the medication to be ministered to them effectively.
The bill is expected to reduce the cost of medication and minimize the numbers of patients who come for readmission. Far too many old people used to be readmitted in hospitals on a daily basis. This can be avoided. One out of five Medicare patients get readmission each month after leaving hospital.
This number can be avoided with good follow-up treatment. There would be personal-follow up care in order to assess every patient's situation and prescribe the valuable treatment or more instructions for self-care.
The medic and Medicare costs have been very high in the past and it is why it is paramount that senior care be provided in the most cost effective way possible in order to reduce the national budget. Health care reforms for the aged are best for securing their future.
President Obama already introduced the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to the tune of $2 billion injected in the economy for community care centers. It is to improve quality care standards for the aged in order to jumpstart the economy. Health centers will give best care to them because they hardly have insurance.
Most seniors though, cannot afford health care which hurts the whole nation. It is because they still need quality but affordable health care to be given to them which causes a financial challenge to the whole nation but has a great impact overall. It improves on their longevity and reduces the national expenditure on health.
