title: Criminal background checks for home care aides.
abstract: The Health Care Financing Administration recently proposed a rule requiring criminal background checks for all home care aides as a condition of employment. The purpose of the rule is to safeguard against the potential for fraud and abuse in home care, but is it the only solution? And should it be limited to just home care aides?
