Assuring the quality of home-delivered long-term care: the Ohio Quality Assurance Project
Abstract:
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.
