Better work environments at home health agencies linked to better outcomes / Karen Rosenberg

By: Series: American Journal of Nursing. 115 : 1, page 56-57 Publication details: January 2015ISSN:
  • 0002-936X
Subject(s): Summary: elping patients remain in the community and avoiding admission to a hospital or long-term care facility are goals of home health care. Drastic reductions in Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) payments for home health care, brought about by both the financial crash of 2008 and sequestration in 2011, have made it difficult to achieve these goals. Researchers analyzed data from CMS's Home Health Compare program, which provides information to consumers on the quality of care at home health agencies throughout the country, and responses from a 2006 survey of nurses in California, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey to determine the relationship between agency-level rates of acute hospitalization and discharges to community living and home health agency work environments.
