The Growing Urgency for Data Collection in Home Care

​Without data, your home care agency may fall behind. The healthcare and health insurance reimbursement landscape is changing rapidly. From the changes in Medicare Advantage plans in 2018 to the spotlight on home care provided by the pandemic and our rapidly aging population, healthcare providers’ and insurers’ interest in the potential benefits of home care has grown and will continue. 

Home care providers who can empirically prove their value with data and speak the language of healthcare with numbers will surpass their competitors.

​Now is the time to collect and use data to influence the future of our industry and those who we need to persuade – policymakers, Medicare, health insurance plans, healthcare referrers, families and prospective employees.

​HCAOA interviewed three leaders of independent agencies about their perspective on home care data collection, the benefits of data collection and how to begin—including what data points to collect.
