Home care providers support the overall health and well-being of millions in the US annually. This number has been growing fast, expanding the scale and scope of home care providers in recent years. A rising number of adults 65 and older has been the primary driver behind this, as older adults are at a higher risk of developing a condition or experiencing an injury that limits their ability to perform tasks they once did independently. While changing demographic trends are an overarching trend impacting the health sector, the pandemic has permanently altered the industry's trajectory. Widespread outbreaks at residential facilities in the first year of the pandemic led more people to value remaining in their homes as they age; the interest in aging-in-place has only grown even as pandemic concerns have dissipated, as older adults look for options that provide safety and independence. In all, revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% to an estimated $155.9 billion over the past five years, including expected growth of 3.2% in 2025. The mounting need for home care services and a shortage of home health aides create a mismatch between supply and demand that limits revenue growth. Shortages, preexisting the pandemic, have worsened as caregivers seek more flexible jobs with higher pay, creating increasingly high turnover that pressures providers to raise wages. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements to home health agencies have been declining for several years, preventing home health agencies from raising salaries despite shortages. Clients eligible for home care services through insurance face long waits, leading more people to opt for self-directed care, where family members or friends work as caregivers. Too few caregivers prevent the industry from fully benefiting from rising demand and curtail profit growth. Trends driving growth in recent years will continue, providing various opportunities for home care providers. How home care providers capitalize on these trends will depend on insurer reimbursements and workforce development. Technology, ranging from wearables to telehealth, will have a more prominent role in the industry as providers look for ways to improve patient care while lessening the burden on staff. Regulatory and financial pressures will maintain consolidation activity, with private equity investment likely to expand. A significant headwind facing the industry will be the future of Medicare policies, the extent to which they cover home health and how states will react to Medicaid cuts in the Trump Administration's Big Beautiful Bill. Revenue will grow at a CAGR of 2.9% to an estimated $179.8 billion over the next five years.

The Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) database receives and compiles data from local Hospital Based Home Care (HBHC) sanctioned programs at Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) that run home care programs under the Home Based Primary Care program. The primary purpose is to provide HBPC management with case mix, case load, and other performance information. The HBPC information system is referred to as HBC at the VA Austin Information Technology Center and as HBHC at the local level. The HBHC automated a paper-based system of reporting home care episodes. When an admission form is completed, an episode is opened and input into HBHC for a potential home care patient. The patient is evaluated and accepted to or rejected from the program. When a patient leaves the program for any reason an episode is closed and a discharge form completed and input into HBHC. HBHC runs a nightly extract of information within the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture. Extractions include information on all Patient Care Encounters (PCEs) with the patient and home visits made by home care providers. Details of which provider(s) made the visit, the date, any diagnosis and any procedures performed are included. Each local application sends its data to the Austin HBC database on a monthly basis. A monthly report is prepared based on this information identifying the active cases at each VAMC. A more detailed quarterly report is produced that includes national comparisons among sites.

Background: Caregivers play a central role in post-stroke patients care. However, the role of and problems managed by caregivers have not been widely studied, particularly in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the roles and problems of caregivers in post- stroke patients’ care.

Method: This was a qualitative study. Caregivers of post-stroke patients from the homecare clinic of Dr Sardjito General Hospital were purposely selected during January 2017 to June 2018. Focus group discussions were conducted to explore the roles and problems of caregiving.

Results: Themes related to caregivers’ roles were: connecting patients with medical personnel and other family members, maintaining patients’ health conditions by fulfilling basic needs and assisting rehabilitation, as well as maintaining patients’ psychological conditions by encouraging conversation, telling jokes, or recreation. On the other hand, themes related to caregivers’ problems were: lack of knowledge caused by education inadequacy, underappreciated and unconcerned family, suboptimal service including limited physiotherapy and pharmacy resource, and unthorough administration, lack of communication, physical limitations and burnout, as well as uncooperative patients.

Conclusions: Caregivers play essential roles as communicators and help to maintain patient's health conditions. Common problems are related to a lack of knowledge about strokes and a lack of attention from family. Understanding the roles and problems of caregivers may help facilitate better management and increase the quality of life for both patients and their caregivers.

These data are related to DCYF’s Office of Innovation, Alignment, and Accountability (OIAA) prevention dashboards, published to support the agency’s efforts to prevent child maltreatment. Those dashboards can be found here: https://www.dcyf.wa.gov/practice/oiaa/reports/prevention-dashboard

Much of the data requested by the Strengthen Families Locally communities to inform their planning, and thus contained in these initial dashboards and datasets, are what we know about children entering out-of-home care (OOH care) – age distribution, counts, rates, trends over time, and race/ethnicity. In 2022, about 3,370 children entered out of home care statewide, a record low for Washington State.

The prevention dashboards and datasets also include descriptive data on children in Child Protection Services (CPS) intakes – rates of intakes “screened-in” for a CPS response, as well as the types of referents referring to CPS. In 2022, DCYF received CPS intakes involving over 89,000 children statewide, and 46,000 total children in intakes screened in for a CPS response.

Some of the data focus on children aged 0 to 1 (or birth to just under 2 years old). This group of children enter out-of-home care at a high rate, and the Strengthen Families Locally communities have identified that early intervention with this group of children and their families can be especially impactful.

OIAA expects to update these dashboards and datasets annually. In addition, we will be working to develop additional dashboards to support other related DCYF prevention efforts.

Persons paying professional homecare services by household type, income group and level of difficulty to pay professional homecare services

Abstract Objective: Analyze Home Care (AD) contribution to the consolidation of Health Care Networks(RAS) from the viewpoint of professionals and elderly users. Method: Qualitative research, through a semi-structured questionnaire, was carried out.Six professionals were included, by draw, each of them from an occupational category of Home Care Service in Sao Caetano do Sul, São Paulo, Brazil, and also 34 users aged over 60 years-old, conscious and oriented, engaged for, at least one year to AD, carrying HAS and DM simultaneously. Results: Subjects’ profile - six professionals, five of them with higher education and one with technical education; average age 39, working in Home Care for approximately two years. Users were predominantly women, aged from 60 to 69 years-old, mostly married and with primary education. Data were categorized: Integrality of Health Care; Home Care and access to other health services; Training and skills in Home Care. It was observed integration among professionals of the sector, valuing biopsychosocial context and guiding actions in the care process. However, deficiency in intersectional articulation was detected. Conclusion: Co-responsibility, training and professional skills were related to an efficient service. Results showed that a humanized approach, bonding, and the effective participation of caregivers and families favor the execution of a therapeutic project and rehabilitation. Home care interconnects RAS points: de-hospitalization guides health care flow. Nevertheless, RAS members’ awareness of Home Care practice, professional training and empowerment of caregivers should be improved.

ABSTRACT This study aims to know the scientific production about Home Care in Brazil, discussing the challenges and potentialities of this type of care in the scope of the Unified Health System (SUS). This is an integrative review in electronic health databases, in the period between 2006 and 2017, whose final sample included 23 articles. Three categories have emerged from the analysis: ‘Substitutive potential of Home Care and articulation with the network’; ‘The user and his/her family in Home Care’; ‘Satisfaction of users and the relationship with the team’. The analysis points out as the main potential of Home Care the configuration as a substitute care network, the bond and the horizontal relations between team, users and family. The main challenges are the fragmentation of care and the lack of articulation with the other points of the care network. Home Care is a unique space of health and can be a powerful space for reinventing relationships between users, caregivers and teams, questioning the hegemonic ways of producing care.
