Several home care and hospice organizations have joined forces to co-sponsor the 2021 National Study on Best Practices and Future Insights. Designed to produce insights that will ensure quality, outcome-driven care in the new reform environment, the research project aims to help identify clinical and operational best practices for care and training that agencies can implement to position themselves for future success. 

“Given the shifting landscape of care delivered in the community and in the home, the study’s independent findings will provide important insights into the challenges and opportunities around better quality care, better quality jobs, and how the public and private sectors can work together to achieve successful outcomes,” Robyn Stone, senior vice president of research at LeadingAge and co-director of the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston, said last week.

Besides LeadingAge, the other sponsors of the study are the National Association for Home Care and Hospice, the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, the Home Care Association of America, and the Council for State Home Care and Hospice Associations. National best-practice research firm BerryDunn will design and facilitate the national effort with the assistance of Delta Health Technologies and HealthPivots as technology and data sponsors.
