title: Policy issues for physicians involved in home care.
abstract: The demand for home care services of all varieties will continue to grow in the next two decades, as will the need for well-informed physicians as members of the home health care team. It is hoped that an enlightened society will continue to develop reimbursement and regulatory structures that will foster a larger role for physicians in home care.
