Article Publication Date
Summary
The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC), in partnership with the National Alliance for Caregiving, has released a policy brief detailing how to integrate caregiver supports into payment and care delivery models.
Nearly one in four Americans is a caregiver, often providing support without training or pay. By using strategies like caregiver assessments trainings, reimbursement mechanisms, and respite care to include family caregivers in payment and delivery models, federal and state policymakers can ensure that caregivers have the necessary resources to support their family members.
