Home Care,
Hospice and Healthcare Reform: Technologies for
Coping with Change
Tim Rowan, Editor
Home Care Technology Report
All I Ever Wanted to
do was Care for Patients! Medicare rate cuts,
growing paperwork burden, nitpicking auditors,
P4P, ACOs, hospice eligibility details,
OASIS-C, and that H.E.A.T. Stirke Force with
it's gun and subpoenas. When do I have time to
take blood pressure, dress wounds, teach
nutrition, consult with physicians and hold a
terminal person's hand? If you find yourself
singing "Hold me down, turning me 'round,
filling me up with their rules," just remember
that the chorus of that song is "I have to
admit it's getting better, a little better all
the time."
