ResolutionCare Featured on PBS Newshour Broadcast
Eureka, California (PRWEB) August 18, 2015 -- ResolutionCare, an innovator in providing palliative care medicine services, is being featured today on PBS Newshour in a segment about how the organization is making a unique contribution to America’s changing healthcare landscape. The program airs tonight—August 18th—at 6:00 pm on most PBS stations nationwide.
“The old healthcare delivery and reimbursement model, where volume based medicine was the name of the game and doctors were paid based on many procedures they provided, is well and truly over, thank goodness,” said Michael D. Fratkin, MD, Founder/Director of ResolutionCare. “At ResolutionCare we are pioneering new healthcare delivery and reimbursement models by meeting an acute shortage in high quality, compassionate palliative care and being reimbursed based on the value that we deliver to the patient and caregiver—an approach that is now gaining national recognition,” he added.
The PBS segment on ResolutionCare features local families and caregivers who are under the organization’s care, in addition to ResolutionCare team members and associates discussing how their practice is contributing to the national conversation about healthcare and the changes that need to take place to ensure higher quality care and better value for all Americans.
