Congratulations to UW CHWS Affiliate Investigator Rachel Prusynski, who has been awarded a $310,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for a project that will analyze home health care practices!
Millions of homebound patients rely on home health agencies, yet there is little evidence about which care delivery practices are most effective in improving outcomes for different clinical needs. In partnership with BAYADA Home Health, this study will analyze data from 2020–2025 to identify how care practices like visit mix and intensity affect outcomes across different patient groups, aiming to inform more effective, patient-centered care nationwide.
The data source will also be used in an upcoming UW CHWS study. Read more here.
