Bedsore (Pressure Injury) Prevention

Neither a Medical Evaluation nor Treatment!

By now, many Home Care Agencies (HCAs) have come to the conclusion that CMS was correct when they stated prevention begins at home - and often by a Home Care Aide.  CMS can only accomplish their future goal of “Aging In Place” by eliminating a decades-old concern: the blurred lines between what constitutes “medical” versus “non-medical” care performed by Home Care Aides.

CMS Licensing Could Create HCA Opportunity

As we approach 2024, Medicare and Medicaid will likely begin requiring licensing for HCAs.  This will greatly expand services, resulting in many new services being deemed non-medical care (such as bedsore prevention).  Bedsore (also known as Pressure Injury) Prevention has already been acknowledged by CMS/Medicare as non-medical. Therefore, many Health Care Agencies are adopting a “first to market” strategy.

Losing Clients to Hospitalizations for Preventable Conditions

All-Cause Hospitalizations are the number one concern for Home Care Agencies losing caseloads. This ever-present concern often robs them of the very clients they wish to serve.  No HCA should be losing clients to hospitalizations from conditions that may often have been preventable.
