Long-term care coverage will be available, affordable, and encouraged
to help address post-hospital care needs.
Post-hospital care will focus on helping patients achieve greater
independence,
a higher degree of functionality, and a faster return to productivity.
Functional recovery will go beyond traditional rehabilitation and
include psychological support.
• Home-based care and monitoring will be used to manage
costs and speed recovery, especially in areas lacking access to
care.
• Appropriate support groups will be established and encouraged.
• Trauma registry data will include post-hospital care and
rehabilitation so that the value and cost-effectiveness of the
full cycle of trauma care can be more readily assessed.
• Research concerning the effectiveness of post hospital
care will be supported.
