Using case mix and adverse event outcome reports for outcome-based quality monitoring.
The OBQM process is similar to many of the QI/PI processes that agencies have used in the past.

The reposts are a first step in the effort to bring the home care industry to a new era of using patient-centered data as the basis for improving services.
