Physician needed in Lakewood, CO
Headquartered in Denver, Colo., InnovAge offers PACE in Colorado,
California, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Our
approximately 2,000 employees serve nearly 6,000 seniors. In
Colorado, we also offer home care services for seniors, and own two
affordable senior housing communities in the Denver metro area. The
mission of InnovAge is to allow seniors to live life on their terms
– by aging in place, in their own homes and communities, for as
long as safely possible. The primary way we do this is through
PACE. InnovAge is committed to expanding PACE to serve more seniors
in more communities.
We are starting the process of looking for a primary care provider
for our Thornton, CO PACE center.
PACE, a program of all-inclusive care of the elderly, is a fully
capitated, fully at risk, value based program funded by state
Medicaid funds (straight per member per month based on state
legislature) and federal Medicare funding (based on RAF scoring
from hierarchical chronic condition ICD-10 scores. To qualify, a
participant has to be 55 years of age or older, and meet the
local/state frailty requirements for nursing home admission.
Because we are value based, we can surround the participant with
services not usually found or easily available in the fee for
service world, and thus help frail elders age safely in the
community. PACE provides adult day center socialization and meals,
therapies (OT, PT, Recreation, Speech), social work,
transportation, mental health, pharmacy, primary care and
palliative care, to name just a few of the services. The PACE model
is predicated on the interdisciplinary team, which makes medical as
well as functional decision with the participant.The position is
ambulatory, full time Monday thru Friday with home based call that
is shared. There would be 5-10 face to face visits per day, some
medically based, some regulatory based (we have to see participants
every 6 months for an assessment and care plan). There are family
meetings, care planning meetings, review of potential enrollees,
some nursing home work (while all of our participants qualify for
nursing home care, only about 11% at any one time reside in a
skilled nursing facility) involved.
