South Korea is rapidly becoming an aging society, and the need for transitional care to prevent chronicity of illness is growing. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has implemented several projects, but conventional home health care alone is not enough to meet this demand.

The National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) launched the initiative, ‘Patient-Centered Integrated model of Home Health Care Services in Korea (PICS-K)’. Its purpose is to coordinate home health care providers by establishing a home health care support center (HHSC) in public hospitals starting in 2021. The PICS-K has six main features: integration of primary care-hospital-personal care-social services through a consortium, HHSC in hospitals with primary care collaboration, increased accessibility, interdisciplinary team (IDT), patient-centeredness, and education of workforce.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this session, learners will be able to:
  • Discuss the introduction of home health care support centers in public hospital for transitional and chronic care management for bedridden patients.
  • Learn how to organize a interdisciplinary team in a home healthcare support center and how to conduct interdisciplinary team meetings.
  • Understand models of collaboration between hospitals' home health support centers and primary care clinics.
  • Understand patient-centered, integrated home healthcare services.
