Overview
New Jersey ranks the highest in the nation in health care dollars spent on Medicare beneficiaries. The amount of time spent in the hospital and the intensity of physician services delivered in the hospital to the elderly are higher in NJ than any other state. According to the Dartmouth Atlas, health outcomes for New Jersey seniors are no better, and perhaps worse, than for other states. This high level of service can have a negative impact on older citizen’s quality of life. Without a discussion of “GOALS OF CARE”, physicians often deliver unwanted services to older patients or withhold wanted services.
