Book excerpt: Donna Peters, a noted expert in outcomes and 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. The most prevalent sources of data including outcomes measurement, professional standards, regulatory requirements, consumer expectations, care guidelines, and activity-based costing are examined.
