Future of Home Health Care Workshop

This week, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and National Research Council hosted the Future of Home Health Care Workshop, sponsored by the Alliance for Home Health Quality and Innovation (AHHQI), to discuss the current state of home health in the nation’s health care delivery system in order to improve the understanding of the role home health care will play in the future.

As a member of AHHQI, we were pleased to see experts representing academia, think tanks, government, accrediting bodies, healthcare delivery systems, national associations and other thought leaders in the health care community examine trends affecting Medicare home health care today and the changes needed in home health care to optimally serve patients and the U.S. health care system in the future.

You can see a recap of the #FutureofHH conversation on Twitter here.

The Future of Home Health Workshop was one piece of the four-phase Future of Home Health Project. We look forward to learning more in the next phase of the project at the symposium this January.
