- W2079987030 abstract "The purpose of this article is to present a cost analysis of in-home vs institutionalization for severely physically disabled ventilator-assisted individuals (VAIs). Following rehabilitation and adaptation to noninvasive methods of ventilatory support, 30 VAIs were maintained in the community for 12.9 ± 1.1 years with personal care attendants organized by a home care vendor reimbursed by New York City Medicaid. The program permitted self-directed severely disabled clients, including these 30 exclusively nontracheos-tomized VAIs, to live in the community and direct their attendant care and personal affairs. Prior to discharge home, the 30 patients resided in the respiratory unit of a long-term care facility for a mean of 8.9 ± 10.1 years. The unit is currently reimbursed at a mean rate of $718.80 per patient per day. The current mean total cost of maintaining these VAIs in the community is $235.13 ±56.73 per patient per day. The conversion to and/or maintenance on 24-h nontracheostomy ventilatory support permitted discharge to the community by allowing the VAI to be attended by trained but uncredentialed home care attendants, thus avoiding prohibitively expensive in-home nursing for tracheostomy care. This created a savings to the public of 77 percent or $176,137 per year per client. We conclude that conversion to and/or use of noninvasive methods of ventilatory aid can be a reasonable and cost-saving goal. More respiratory rehabilitation centers are needed to free up hospital beds and facilitate discharge of VAIs to the community. There is also-evidence that trained attendants should be permitted to suction tracheostomized VAIs in the home.
