Abstract
The number of coordinated home care programs doubled between 1961-1964. There was a small increase in the number of patients served, but a potential for more than doubling the caseload. There was a shift of administrative auspices away from the hospital toward the health department, the Visiting Nurse Association, and the independent home care agency. There is an increase in the multiunit program with the health department, the Visiting Nurse Association, or the freestanding home care agency serving as cement for the individual islands of hospital-based home care operational units. Ther was a broadening of the services to patients other than the chronically ill.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
