Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement

This book is intended to aide home health owners, administrators and managers in practicing good, goal directed and efficient care of their patients. It is my intention that if this book is properly put to use, by all home health care professionals, the home health agencies and their patients will benefit immensely. Home Health Care has and will continue to undergo changes. The use of qualified staff and the effective management of the agencies by their owners and administrator through knowledge and understanding of home health rules and regulations is key to coping with the changes.
