Abstract:
Home health care is the fastest growing component of medical care in the United States. To understand better the nature and scope of changes taking place in home health, two current national surveys are described and compared. The two federally sponsored surveys are the National Home and Hospice Care Survey (NHHCS) conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. Computer data files from both surveys are publicly available.
