title: Implementing a pay-per-visit program while ensuring quality care.
abstract: Creative staffing alternatives that meet quality assurance standards and respond to current market trends is a challenge for today's home care provider. Tri-Hospital Home Health Program of Passaic, New Jersey, produced almost 4,000 additional visits in 1989 with a pay-per-visit program, which proved to be very cost effective, despite a DRG reimbursement system.
