The study also found that use of the home health care benefit is changing-use of home health aide care has declined and use of physical therapy services has increased, even for longer periods of care. The findings indicate that there are many important differences between patients based on the length of their home health care use, not just based on their source of admission, and that the source of admission may be a more important differentiator among patients who use home health care for longer periods. This study conducted exploratory analyses to develop a better understanding of community-admitted Medicare home health patients, including whether there have been any differential trends between community-admitted and post-acute care (PAC) patients over time and what their patterns of care tell us about the underlying reasons for the community-admitted increased numbers.
