Abstract
Patient satisfaction is considered an important indicator of the quality of care provided by a home healthcare agency. Increased emphasis is now placed on patient outcomes of care by certification and accreditation standards. This detailed analysis of the outcomes of care by the patient, the family, and the professionals through the use of unsolicited patient letters of commendation and the clinical record did not reveal any specific pattern. The visiting nurse association's home care services are available on a nondiscriminatory basis. This fact is noted in the agency's literature and policy manual. The data analysis for this project supports this policy statement. Patients, family members, and a physician wrote letters of commendation regardless of the LOS, payer source, total charges, time spent with the patient, and personnel who provided the care.
