THE ROADMAP: Key Strategies for Creating   
the Future of Home Care and Hospice

Simione Healthcare Consultants and Lincoln Healthcare Group's Home Care 100 interviewed 45 Home Care and Hospice executives, and surveyed over 100 more, between June and October 2014. The following represents the results of that research, wherein they identified the key strategies home care and hospice organizations should employ now to ensure a successful future. These results were shared in February at the Home Care 100 Leadership and Strategy Conference, where William J. Simione III, Principal, Simione Healthcare Consultants, served as a leadership panelist. 


In this era of hyper-accountability in health care, home care and hospice providers are anticipating a long journey in the quest for more streamlined operations and improved quality. The challenging road ahead will require these organizations to develop a clear strategic itinerary to ensure they demonstrate value, rather than being viewed as the "tail of the dog".

Several key strategies remain central to demonstrating that value, and home care and hospice providers must be ready for the long haul with sound financial operations, experience with taking on risk and emerging payment programs, and excellent outcomes backed by data that hospitals and other collaborating providers will understand.
