New Medicare Proposal Would Cover Training for Family Caregivers

Anna Kaltenboeck discusses staffing at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' in respect to their prescription drug reimbursement team with the Wall Street Journal.

Community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries who are Black and/or Latino/a are more likely than white beneficiaries to report difficulty managing activities of daily living, according to a databook released by ATI Advisory (ATI) with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Activities of daily living include dressing, bathing, walking across the room, transferring in and out of bed or chair, using the toilet, and eating.

Nils Franco quoted in Drug Store News about an ATI Report: "Using real-world examples, our report demonstrates the emerging and necessary role of pharmacy solutions for older adults aging in place and their family caregivers in the U.S. healthcare system.”
