These new payment systems and the growing influence of managed care are forcing home health agencies to make difficult decisions about restructuring their organizational philosophies and operations to create a more cost-conscious environment.
1997年的《平衡预算法案》目前通过临时支付系统限制医疗保险对家庭健康机构的支付，并授权未来实施前瞻性支付系统。这些新的支付系统以及管理式医疗日益增长的影响力，正迫使家庭健康机构就重组其组织理念和运营做出艰难决策，以营造一个更注重成本的环境。
