Clinical and Financial Evaluation of a Hospital Based Home Health Care Department.

Abstract

Home health care agencies are currently under major scrutiny by the federal government under Operation Restore Trust (ORT) and other government initiatives to detect fraudulent practices against Medicare. In order for agencies to be certified for Medicare reimbursement they must meet Medicare Conditions of Participation. Hospital-based home health care agencies are also required to be accredited by the Joint Commission Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), if their parent hospital is accredited. The purpose of this Graduate Management Project (GMP) was to conduct the annual evaluation of the M&M Home Health Care Agency required for Medicare Certification and reimbursement and of JCAHO requirements.
