The Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare was established in 2010 to work in partnership with government officials to ensure access to quality home healthcare services for all Americans. Representing community- and hospital-based home healthcare agencies nationwide, the Partnership is dedicated to developing innovative reforms to improve the program integrity, quality, and efficiency of home healthcare for our nation's seniors.
Nationwide, approximately 500,000 skilled professionals are providing home healthcare services to more than 3.5 million Medicare beneficiaries who require treatment for illnesses related to acute, chronic or rehabilitative needs.

THE PARTNERSHIP'S COMMITMENT TO QUALITY CARE
The Partnership is dedicated to advancing policy solutions that will result in improved quality of care and quality of life for all home healthcare patients. Patients with chronic conditions across the country are receiving quality care in their own homes by skilled and highly trained clinicians. While evidence already confirms that home healthcare is patient preferred and a cost-effective care setting with positive clinical outcomes for patients, the Partnership is working to further improve quality and access for the patients we serve.
