White Papers
McKenney Home Care is pleased to share the following White Papers on the Home Health Industry.
The Critical Role of Patient Satisfaction in Attracting and Retaining Home Health Care Workers.
The article, written by Press Ganey in 2010 highlights the fact that “Satisfied patients tend to correlate with satisfied employees, and home health care workers report the relationship with patients is one of the most rewarding facets of their careers.”
When I'm 64, How Boomers Will Change Healthcare.
The wave of aging Baby Boomers will reshape the health care system forever. There will be more people enjoying their later years, but they’ll be managing more chronic conditions and therefore utilizing more health care services.
Caring in America A Comprehensive Analysis of the Nation's Fastest Growing Jobs: Home Health and Personal Care Aides.
December 2011, by Dorie Seavey, Ph.D. Director of Policy Research with Abby Marquand, M.PH. “Home care aides represent one of the nation’s largest and fastest growing occupations. We see them every day: carefully guiding a wheelchair down a city sidewalk, accompanying an older woman waiting to see her doctor, or alongside a man with a spinal cord injury at work so that he can provide for his family. And there are millions more we don’t see – in people’s homes and apartments, fixing dinner, helping with bathing and dressing, doing laundry. This is caring in America.”
NAELA White Paper on Long Term Care Reform, Marquette Elder's Advisor.
“The current system for addressing long term care is a non-system. It is a hodgepodge of services that fails to meet its intended needs and is economically inefficient. This White Paper analyzes the problems and proposes recommendations to serve as policy solutions for citizens and government.”
