A Unified Theory of Home-Based Care
You may not know this, but I am fascinated by quantum physics. No, I don't
actually understand it, nor can I do the math involved, but I am like a curious
two year-old when it comes to the idea that the laws governing small particles
and large planets are actually the same. It turns out that the visuals our
science teachers taught us about electrons orbiting nuclei were not exactly
right from a scientific perspective but a really helpful way to think about this.
So, as usual, what does any of this have to do with hospice or home-based
care in general? Well, we are consumed these days by large celestial bodies
that are going to reshape health care. Walmart, Amazon, Google, are all vying
for a piece of the health care pie. This is both tantalizing and a little scary. But
what if the laws that apply to these large bodies are the same as the laws that
apply on the ground? Think about it. While Amazon completely disrupted the
business model of traditional brick-and-mortar retailers, it created huge
opportunity for smaller, nimbler organizations like delivery services and the
specialty realtors who contract with Amazon for those more niche products. A
similar evolution in health care could actually play to hospices' strengths.
I think that when all of the hoopla dies down, and we deal with reality, we
will see that this is exactly right. You see, no matter how much buying or
technology power an entity has, people still covet and receive health care (if
done right) in a personal, local and convenient manner. While we can bring
the efficiencies and technology of large bodies to health care, and we should,
we will not replace that crucial fact. Even in the Jetsons, neither Rosie the
Robot, nor the food eracacycle, delivered health care.
A unified theory of home-based care, just like a unified theory of physics,
has been elusive. Over the coming months, you'll hear much more about
my theory. For today, suffice it to say that it will be person-centered,
interdisciplinary, and will leverage the best of our past with the scale,
technology and efficiency of the future. We'll be less chopped up by
geography or tax status, or even Medicare benefit category. A unified
theory demands that we focus on the one core truth that helps inform all
we do. That part is easy. It's about people. No matter the scale, people need
care from other people.
Thank you for all you do to care for so many.
