Types of Patient Evaluation by Clinicians

Home-based medical care provides professional clinical services that include single consultative assessments, disease-specific care, primary care, and palliative care.

Consultative Visits

The most discrete form of HBMC is time-limited involvement that addresses safety or other medical care needs and usually involves one or two visits after which recommendations are sent to the patient’s primary care provider. This often happens after a hospitalization and is part of transitions of care initiatives. The Community-Based Care Transitions Program, created under Section 3026 of the ACA, devotes up to $500 million to pilot transitional care models at more than 100 participating sites [34]. These programs not only provide short-term assistance for patients; they reorient people’s thinking in the community and involve them in the process of improving health care [16]. Early evaluation of these programs suggests they improve care and decrease costs.
