NAHC Calls Selected Agencies to Participate in an Important Survey

The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) urges agencies that have been randomly chosen to partake in the Delta National Study to Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations through Home Care study. The largest of its kind in the history of home care, this study addresses one of the single biggest quality problem facing home care agencies.

More than 700 agencies are expected to be surveyed via a 30-minute phone interview. As a thank-you, NAHC will provide participants with a special webinar and advance report on the best practice findings.

The study is also one of the most collaborative efforts ever initiated in home care. It is being sponsored by Delta Health Technologies and co-sponsored by NAHC. Affiliate sponsor groups also include the Joint Commission, Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP), and the American Physical Therapy Association, among others.

The results will be released at the NAHC Annual Meeting and then made available free to all home care agencies in the United States.

So, if your agency is called, we urge you to participate. It can benefit your agency and the entire home care field.
