Home-delivered care is an important development for functionally disabled clients and for the long-term care system. However, questions and concerns about home care quality have been raised. At this point, home care quality is not well understood, and most case management and provider agencies have very little experience designing and implementing quality assurance programs. This article reports on the Ohio Quality Assurance Project. During this 17-month pilot project, the Ohio Department of Aging and the Scripps Gerontology Center, Miami University, collaborated on a model quality assurance system for case managed, in-home care. Using two demonstration sites within Ohio's PASSPORT program, the Ohio Quality Assurance Project developed and tested quality assurance standards and strategies that could be applicable to home care and case management agencies nationwide.
上门护理对于功能残疾客户和长期护理系统而言是一项重要的发展。然而，人们对家庭护理质量提出了疑问和担忧。目前，家庭护理质量尚未得到充分理解，大多数病例管理和服务提供机构在设计和实施质量保证计划方面经验很少。本文报道了俄亥俄州质量保证项目。在这个为期17个月的试点项目中，俄亥俄州老龄部与迈阿密大学斯克里普斯老年医学中心合作，为病例管理的上门护理建立了一个示范性质量保证系统。利用俄亥俄州“护照”项目中的两个示范点，俄亥俄州质量保证项目制定并测试了可应用于全国范围内家庭护理和病例管理机构的质量保证标准及策略。
