title: Patient satisfaction in home care/hospice.
abstract: Over the past 10 years, home healthcare has grown to include IV therapy and parenteral nutrition as well as patient education and dressing changes. In addition, other aspects of patient care--occupational, speech and physical therapy--can be provided under certain Medicare criteria. A patient satisfaction survey provides quantitative data to measure and assess home healthcare outcomes and to integrate results into a Quality Assurance program.
