Transforming Home Care: Quality, Cost, and Data Management

Donna Peters, an expert on data management in home health care, and Tad McKeon, author of "Home Health Financial Management", team up to assess the current home health care environment in light of quality, cost and data collection issues, assessing and relating the most prevalent sources of data including outcomes measurement; professional standards; regulatory requirements; consumer expectations; care guidelines and activity-based costing. The book addresses how data is used to derive information to improve performance, and examines how to use data to achieve excellence, not just to satisfy regulators.
