Pearl is a 64-year-old caucasian female cancer survivor. She lives
outside of Chicago in a fixed income household. Because she has
Medicare, she has to travel over an hour to see a primary care
provider. Lately, she's been feeling exhausted and not like herself. Her
healthcare team does a routine exam, checks her height and weight,
but does not review her medical and medication history and past
cancer treatment. The PCP suggests she takes melatonin, provides
healthy diet recommendations, and asks that she returns in two
weeks.
Given Pearl's situation, describe the implications of not providing
value-based care. List all cost considerations you think the doctor
should have made before recommending melatonin and a two-week
follow up. - answer-By not reviewing her medical history, they cannot
determine if her current symptoms are a sign of a larger problem.
This will likely cause the underlying issue to become worse and
increase her cost of care. This suggests follow-up visits and the
addition of melatonin would increase out-of-pocket costs for the
patient.
