The older we get, the more care we need — and the more care providers must be involved. According to one estimate, 20% of the total federal health care cost is generated by those 65 and above. A second survey shows that 30% of seniors benefit from some sort of care coordination, while others feel isolated from their friends, family and providers. While newer technologies are solving data access and sharing problems, many senior care providers have been slow to implement these technologies. Their resulting inability to communicate with other health care providers adds significantly to the complexity, higher cost and lower quality of senior care. The good news? It is about to change.
