This is a very useful overview of what is driving change in the Post-Acute Care (PAC)  market. I might add that the COVID disruption needs to be more aggressively integrated into the possible options and overall response. Nascate believes that COVID needs to be the primary factor in PAC strategy development – as it is the immediate challenge. At this point in time it is driving increases and decreases in hospital utilization which will result in changes in who is being discharged AND the appropriate/acceptable referral choices. We find significant power in understanding how patients arrive (inbound journey), the traditional hospital stay, and then both their PAC trajectory and options. The value perceived by the patient and the family in the experience is influenced by the patients reality before, during and after discharge. Information Needs and analytics precede admission.
