    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Administration
    • Outcomes Research
    • Home Care Services

    Background:

    • Limited regional and national benchmarking data currently exists for home care agencies.
    • Accreditation requirements are driving the development of national databases for home care outcomes.
    • The home care industry is nascent in its adoption of outcomes measurement and reporting compared to hospitals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the emergence of national databases for home care agencies through new accreditation requirements.
    • To discuss the potential of the Outcomes Based Measurement and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) for standardized outcomes reporting.
    • To assess the current state of outcomes data collection and reporting in the home care industry.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of new accreditation requirements (ORYX and OASIS) impacting home care agencies.
    • Examination of the OASIS survey as a standardized tool for outcomes measurement.
    • Comparison of data collection and reporting practices in home care versus hospital settings.

    Main Results:

    • The ORYX and OASIS requirements are expected to generate substantial national databases for home care.
    • OASIS offers a standardized framework for measuring and reporting patient outcomes.
    • Significant disparities exist in the maturity of outcomes data management between the home care and hospital sectors.

    Conclusions:

    • Vast national databases for home care are anticipated due to ORYX and OASIS accreditation standards.
    • OASIS represents a significant step towards standardized outcomes measurement in home care.
    • The home care industry requires further development in collecting, compiling, and reporting outcomes data to align with established healthcare sectors.
