The innovation now being demanded by Medicare is creating new opportunities for health care organizations to redesign how they deliver care for elderly people. For many years, the VA Health System has experimented with ways to deliver care more effectively and efficiently. Hospital-based postacute and palliative care and home-based primary care are two examples of successful approaches that non-VA providers should be looking at as they move away from fee-for-service reimbursement and invent new care-delivery models.
医疗保险目前所要求的创新正在为医疗保健机构创造新机遇，使其能够重新设计为老年人提供护理的方式。多年来，退伍军人健康系统一直在尝试以更有效和高效的方式提供护理。以医院为基础的急性后期和姑息治疗以及以家庭为基础的初级保健是成功方法的两个例子，非退伍军人医疗服务提供者在摆脱按服务收费的报销方式并创新新的护理提供模式时应予以关注。
