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. The book addresses how one uses data to derive information that can be used to improve performance and examines how to use data to achieve excellence, not just to satisfy regulators.
