PALTC23 Conference Recordings SA09 Home-Based Primary Care Improves Outcomes in People with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability

Home-Based Primary Care Improves Outcomes in People with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disability

The goal of this session is to familiarize the audience with clinical challenges faced by people with intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD), and to discuss how the use of value-based outcome measures and home-based primary care (HBPC) may improve outcomes in this vulnerable population. The session will be divided into three main sections: 1. Emerging value-based outcome measures in IDD: Hospitalization rate and days spent at home will be defined and data illustrating these metrics will be shared. 2. HBPC will be explained, along with data illustrating its effect on care. 3. HBPC as a model of care to improve value-based outcomes in people with IDD: Data comparing outcomes in people with IDD served by HBPC to those receiving traditional primary care will be presented.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:

  • Define and describe emerging value-based outcomes measures in populations of individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD).
  • Describe how a home-based primary care model works.
  • Develop an understanding of home-based primary care’s effect on clinical outcomes among individuals with IDD.
