Organization's Own Description:
Everyday, we strive to find solutions for providing better, more affordable access to health care for all Americans while providing quality care and encouraging innovations in services and medical technology. Today's home health care industry offers one of the most effective and cost-efficient delivery systems of comprehensive, high-quality health care services.
The bipartisan Home Health Caucus strives to further the role of home health in our nation's health care delivery system.
Especially important for millions of America's seniors and people with disabilities, home health care allows them to live independently and receive care in a patient preferred setting – in their own home.
The home health industry employs a workforce of more than 1.2 million as nurses, therapists, home care aides, social workers and clinicians. Daily, 10,000 Baby Boomers become eligible for Medicare and we need to continue to build on home and community-based care as a means to take care of our rapidly growing senior population.
With the communication and technological advances over the last several years, the home health community has pioneered leading-edge models and therapeutics to deliver comprehensive, high-quality, patient-centered care across the health care delivery system. These models lead to better patient care coordination, medication management, disease and chronic care management, and behavioral and preventative education. The innovative approaches of today's home health care show great promise in addressing many of the concerns associated with disparities in health care and access in rural communities.
