"Five Steps to Transforming Care for High-Need Patients" - Diane E. Meier, MD
Hospitals have primary responsibility for one of the biggest public health challenges: the explosion in the number of older adults living with complex, serious illnesses. Most Americans expect to live to a ripe old age, thanks to modern medicine and public health standards. As we age, most of us acquire common chronic conditions, like arthritis, memory loss and frailty, and one or more serious illnesses, like cancer or heart disease. By age 75, 78 percent of Americans are living with two or more chronic conditions, says author Diane Meier, MD, professor, geriatrics and palliative Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
