Synopsis

Home Care Redesign introduces home health providers to integrated care delivery systems and shows how to capture and control costs and outcomes, how to deal with staffing issues, and how to gain accreditation from all relevant organizations, including the National Council for Quality Assurance. Changes in documentation, information management, and marketing and billing are addressed. Implementation issues, maintaining the restructured organization, and quality assessment and improvement strategies such as benchmarking are covered. An abundance of practical tools, such as tracking tools, orientation outlines, job descriptions, and examples of documentation and competency assessment and performance tools support the text.
