What is a key difference between the Sutter Health Advanced Illness Management (AIM) program and the Medicare hospice program?
A. AIM patients may receive both curative treatment and palliative services
B. AIM patients must be terminally ill to receive services
C. AIM costs more
Answer
The answer is option A- AIM patients may receive both curative treatment and palliative services.
Sutter’s Advanced Illness Management Program will provide nurse-led care to the patients with AIM; the patient can receive both the curative treatment and palliative services.
AIM is providing care to the patient by not focusing only on terminally ill patients while in the Medicare hospice program they are focusing on the terminally ill patient with life expectancy less than 6 months.
With the AIM program, it is focused on providing care with cost-saving by avoiding the unnecessary care and complications to the patient.
