10 ways medical adult day services can help hospitals save money:

Medical adult day services (MADS) are a type of outpatient care that provides medical and social services to adults with chronic medical conditions, disabilities, or cognitive impairments. Here are ten ways MADS can help hospitals save money:

  • Reducing hospital admissions: MADS can provide ongoing medical and social support to adults with chronic medical conditions, which can help prevent hospital admissions.

  • Shortening hospital stays: MADS can provide post-acute care to adults who are discharged from the hospital, which can help shorten their hospital stays.

  • Reducing emergency department visits: MADS can provide ongoing medical and social support to adults with chronic medical conditions, which can help prevent emergency department visits.

  • Providing care for complex medical conditions: MADS can provide specialized medical care for adults with complex medical conditions, which can reduce the need for hospitalization.

  • Providing medication management: MADS can provide medication management services to adults, which can help prevent medication errors and reduce the need for hospitalization.

  • Providing caregiver support: MADS can provide caregiver support services to family members or other caregivers, which can help prevent caregiver burnout and reduce the need for hospitalization.

  • Providing rehabilitation services: MADS can provide rehabilitation services to adults, which can help them recover from illness or injury and reduce the need for hospitalization.

  • Providing nutrition services: MADS can provide nutrition services to adults, which can help manage chronic medical conditions and reduce the need for hospitalization.

  • Providing socialization opportunities: MADS can provide socialization opportunities to adults, which can improve their mental health and reduce the need for hospitalization.

  • Lower cost of care: MADS is often less expensive than hospital care, which can help hospitals save money on healthcare costs while still providing high-quality care to their patients.
