Home health care is an important aspect of community health and
a growing area of healthcare services. Clinical Case Studies in
Home Health Care uses a case-based approach to provide home
healthcare professionals, educators, and students with a useful
tool for thoughtful, holistic care.

The book begins with a thorough and accessible introduction to the
principles of home health care, including a discussion of
supporting theoretical frameworks and information on managing
complexities, transitioning patients to home care, and preparation
for the home visit. Subsequent sections are comprised
entirely of case studies organized by body system. Though cases are
diverse in content, each is presented in a consistent manner,
incorporating relevant data about the patient and caregivers and
the approach to patient care and promoting a logical approach to
patient presentation. Cases also include helpful tips
about reimbursement practices, cultural competence, community
resources, and rehabilitation needs.
