title: The private duty market: operational and staffing considerations.
abstract: Wouldn't it be nice to get away from Medicare home health regulations and into a business where the provider simply needs an understanding of the difference between a revenue and an expense? Cost reports, disallowances, allocations, cost shifts, and cost limits become a thing of the past. This article will help you plan and evaluate your approach to developing a private duty business. An overview of the market, operational considerations, and a discussion of various key staff positions and their functions allows you to explore this opportunity from many vantage points.
