title: Using vision to become viable: how rural hospital-based home health can thrive.
abstract: It's been the trend for some years that, with their own particular set of challenges and constraints, hospital-based home health agencies have struggled to maintain profitability and efficiency in their operations. That can especially be true for hospital-based agencies operating in more rural areas, even as such agencies have been shown to play an important--or even critical--role in ensuring individuals in the communities they serve have access to needed treatment and health care services. Two executives who've successfully led a rural hospital-based agency discuss how to engage employees, referral sources, and communities and instill the right core philosophy to help your business succeed and grow.
