About This Webinar
New diagnoses, unplanned hospitalizations, and worsening health conditions can create significant challenges for families trying to get their care needs met across our complex health care system. New research and data show that without better holistic support, we see poorer health for patients and their caregivers and higher costs for health systems — especially when it comes to medical conditions like cancer, dementia, or palliative care.
Many existing support models are struggling to adapt to an evolving care landscape as well.
What this means to plan members and their caregivers is profound:
- High burden: It can take a family member nearly 20 unpaid hours per week to care for a sick loved one, with implications for their own health
- High intensity: Roughly 50% of caregivers over the age of 65 are providing unpaid care for a spouse
- Lack of coordination: Aging adults with multiple chronic conditions visit an average of 14 different physicians annually
- Timely access to health care: This is directly tied to member retention. Twenty-five percent of Wellthy members request assistance with access to care.
With nearly 60% of older adults saying they have an issue with their health insurance and 25% filing a grievance annually, burden, lack of coordination, and high stress are shown to drive poor member experience. This webinar will look at how Wellthy's enhanced approach to case management can make a meaningful difference in the lives of plan members and their families.
