According to the article: 

"The survey, which queried 500 home-based adult patients and 500 paid and unpaid caregivers, showed that both patients and caregivers are overwhelmed and stressed. Both groups equally (31%) blame each other when there is a delay in receiving life-saving medical equipment. Findings further exhibit that many patients are left in the dark, unaware of any coordinated assistance services made available by their health insurers. An overwhelming majority (77%) of the patients also reported that they are the primary contact for their medical suppliers. The survey also disclosed that 59% of patients received unreliable or poor-quality medical supplies and equipment."

Homecare Association - CMS Pricing Program Spiraling Out of Control

Homecare Association Says CMS Pricing For DME Equipment Will Endanger Seniors, Cost Jobs,... -- WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --:

"While CMS, which administers the Medicare program, alleges it will save an average of 45 percent on certain medical equipment by extending its controversial bidding program to 91 new areas, those so-called savings are created by a sharp decline in utilization of home medical equipment by Medicare patients. Experts say the unrealistic low prices for durable medical equipment (DME), like the ones announced today, are forcing providers in the affected communities to go out of business or no longer offer products or services to Medicare beneficiaries.

"It's ironic that a program that is supposed to increase competition among providers is actually reducing competition, costing jobs in communities, and putting Medicare patients at risk," said Tyler Wilson , president of the American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare). "This program is spiraling out of control. Providers, consumer advocates, and economists are urgently calling on Congress to adopt a better system.""

Consumer Updates > Making Medical Devices Safer at Home:

""(Home use) devices once were designed only to keep you alive. Now they're designed to keep you as independent as possible," according to Mary Brady, MSN, RN, a senior policy analyst at FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).

However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has long been concerned that consumers may sometimes be literally left to their own devices—depending upon medical devices they might not know how to operate and for which they might not understand the safety risks.

There have been serious, and even fatal, problems reported to FDA associated with medical devices used at home. For example, a woman with kidney failure got cat hair in her dialysis tubing, resulting in peritonitis, a life-threatening abdominal infection. And a child died when his mother didn't hear an alarm on his ventilator signaling that the tubing had become disconnected."

Deaths and Injuries Associated With Bed Rails

• Enroll now! California Exemptee training course for home medical device retailers (HMDR)

Something of interest for HME and DME providers . . .

Agency Investigates Deaths and Injuries Associated With Bed Rails - NYTimes.com:

". . . death certificates and hospital emergency room visits from 2003 through May 2012 shows that 150 mostly older adults died after they became trapped in bed rails. Over nearly the same time period, 36,000 mostly older adults — about 4,000 a year — were treated in emergency rooms with bed rail injuries. Officials at the FDA and the commission said the data probably understated the problem since bed rails are not always listed as a cause of death by nursing homes and coroners, or as a cause of injury by emergency room doctors.

Experts who have studied the deaths say they are avoidable. While the F.D.A. issued safety warnings about the devices in 1995 . . ."
