Home health care is an integral part of the health care system. As home care grows--a natural outcome with a growing elderly population and earlier discharges from the hospital under DRGs--so do the many challenges. Proposed Medicare budget cuts, managed care and Medicaid block grants are just a few of the pressing issues faces by not only home care, but the entire health care industry.
居家医疗保健是医疗保健系统不可或缺的一部分。随着居家护理的发展——这是老年人口不断增加以及根据诊断相关分组(DRGs)提前出院的自然结果——诸多挑战也随之而来。医疗保险预算削减提案、管理式医疗以及医疗补助计划的整体拨款,这些不仅是居家护理面临的紧迫问题,也是整个医疗保健行业面临的紧迫问题。
