- Programs such as the Medicare hospice benefit, Medicare Home Health Care, Medicaid Home Health Care, and financing and payment methods for the dual-eligible population.
- Incorporation of performance metrics in payment models, such as pay-for-performance and performance incentives.
- Potential policy steps to address key gaps, challenges, and opportunities related to financing and payment models to support high-quality care for serious illness.
