A report from the Bipartisan Policy Center draws from six previous reports to identify a roadmap of policy solutions that can begin to tackle the barriers to financing and delivering high-quality, person- and family-centered, coordinated health and social services and supports to individuals with complex care needs. In 2010, 37% of Medicare beneficiaries had four or more chronic conditions and they accounted for 90% of Medicare hospital readmissions in 2010. Medicare beneficiaries with four or more chronic conditions also comprised 74% of Medicare program spending in 2010.
