Results


U.S. Veterans Administration – Portland, OR : “Project at Home”
75% of eligible patients chose to receive treatment at home
versus hospital admission
Vermont has instituted a “Choices for Care” program, with federal
approval, offering home care as an option equal, yet more cost effective,
than nursing home care
Study of 530,000 elderly people on Medicaid by the University of
California, San Francisco researchers concluded that Medicaid saved an
average of $15,000 a year for each person that received care at home
Study published in December 2005 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine
concluded that at-home care resulted in a 33% cost savings when
compared to hospital care for similarly ill patients
Recent studies have shown faster recovery and lower infection rates for
home care patients

Positive Demographic Trends Driving Home Care


The durable medical equipment (“DME”) industry will continue to experience
favorable demographics due to the aging of the US population


•The number of Americans aged 65 or older is expected to increase to


approximately 40 million by 2010, approximately 54 million by 2020 and
approximately 70 million by 2030 (or 20% of the U.S. population)

Long-Term Growth in DME Expenditures in U.S.


The healthcare industry in the U.S. is a large, growing segment of the economy, and the DME sector
represents a significant sub-segment of this industry
According to the CMS, national health spending increased from 9.1% of GDP, or $255 billion, in 1980 to
16.0%, or $1.9 trillion, in 2004
DME spending currently represents approximately 1.2% of total health care expenditures in 2004
DME expenditures, which are expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2005 through 2015, are expected to
reach $36.2 billion by 2015
