The Board of Directors of the Health Care System is thinking of expanding services to include a home health agency in the community. The Health Care System is experiencing an increase in older adult patients and also has a problem with a high readmission rate within 30 days of discharge for Medicare patients. The Board of Directors has charged the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to ask the student, their health care consultant, to help determine whether or not to develop this service. The student must analyze overall health care trends, population trends, disease trends, local trends and competitors, utilization of services, and other factors to determine whether or not to recommend opening a home care service. The recommendation will include specific services provided, staff required, financial concerns, and a plan to build patient referrals.
