Desafíos del cuidado en el hogar
Los trabajadores de atención médica de primera línea de atención domiciliaria y hospicio de Texas brindan servicios médicamente necesarios a las personas más vulnerables de Texas con discapacidades y enfermedades graves. Las agencias de atención domiciliaria se enfrentan a desafíos extraordinarios que afectan su capacidad para proporcionar servicios domiciliarios asequibles y de calidad a sus pacientes.
A raíz de la pandemia y sus efectos en la fuerza laboral y nuestra economía, la industria se enfrenta a una crisis sin precedentes. Debido a la escasez de mano de obra, el financiamiento crónicamente bajo que se ve superado por el aumento de los costos de atención médica y la inflación, y los obstáculos regulatorios que retrasan la innovación de la industria, los proveedores de atención domiciliaria en Texas ya no pueden superar los desafíos que enfrentan a diario.
Sin la acción de nuestros líderes, la industria de la atención domiciliaria y el medio millón de familias de Texas a las que servimos se quedarán sin la atención de la que dependen, lo que aumentará los costos y pondrá en riesgo a los pacientes vulnerables.
