title: Home health care.
abstract: Home health care, say Kent and Hanley, was originally the purview of nursing. Today, much of home care policy and delivery is determined by cost and reimbursement policies. But is the present policy effective in either delivering services or saving costs? No, say these authors, in a crisp analysis of home care health policies and nursing's part in care delivery in the home setting.
