“Cherish the time you have with your loved ones with serious illness.” Thank you to the essential workers, especially the chaplains and social workers who have held space not only for people and families but also for the providers caring for them. #CTACSummit20

We have the ability and the responsibility to help our system evolve. We just need to find the will to do it. -Susan Ponder-Stansel #advancedcaretech

[Torrie Fields @TorrieKFields]

What about Medicaid? Looking forward to seeing what advancements Hawaii can bring to developing community based palliative care benefits. @NASHPhealth is building tools to help states now! #advancedcaretech

[Torrie Fields @TorrieKFields]

We need to make substantial reforms in Medicare, especially to reimburse direct care workers. Otherwise, we won’t make a dent in the possibilities that these services can offer. #advancedcaretech

[Torrie Fields @TorrieKFields]

We force people into choices because of policy that ends up being payment policy. There is evidence out there; we need to look at what works at the right time and at the right level. #advancedcaretech

[Torrie Fields @TorrieKFields]

We don’t have the technological solutions to follow patients and know when their goals and wishes change. Advance directives cannot be the end all-be all @ravi_b_parikh #advancedcaretech @CTACorg @PetrieFlom

[Petrie-Flom Center @PetrieFlom]

Payment reform is absolutely necessary, Susan Ponder-Stansel says. Payment motivates behavior, it instigates action, she adds. But we also need better standards for the kind of care patients should receive. #AdvancedCareTech

“Medicare Advantage seems to be the space where the government is looking for innovation... but there’s no agreement on what quality care looks like.” -Susan Ponder Stansel #advancedcaretech
