The quality of care you deliver determines the level of success your agency will have. This is becoming increasingly important as reimbursement rates from medicare will soon be calculated by the quality of care your agency delivers and the data that proves this.

In fact, medicare already offers a tool to patients interested in home health care to compare the quality of care agencies in their neighborhood provide. The tool shows percentage of success in the agency helping patients in managing their pain, increasing their mobility and decreasing readmission rates among other factors.
Guess who can make sure you get five stars across the board and blow people 
away with your stats on the care you provide? If you said your home care workers then you’re already ten steps ahead of most agencies.
Yep, your home care workers -responsible for the majority of services taken into account to judge the quality of care your agency provides- are your winning tickets to the home care race.
