Hospital Home Care
Association of America

In 1994, NAHC÷s Board of Directors established a new unincorporated affiliate within NAHC, called the Hospital Home Care Association of America (HHCAA). In creating this entity, the NAHC Board recognized the fact that home care and hospice services have not been immune to the effects of an unstable marketplace brought about by rapid changes in the hospital environment.

HHCAA was established to influence and communicate the issues, challenges, and opportunities that arise from changes in the hospital environment. HHCAA's objectives will reflect the mission of NAHC and serve the best interests of all home care and hospice providers.

HHCAA will assist in NAHC's legislative and regulatory activities to advance issues in the interest of all providers. Specifically, HHCAA will:

• Promote quality improvement through model programs that reflect cooperative care planning and clinical partnerships between hospital and home care providers;
• Collect data and conduct national research;
• Bring issues to the attention of NAHC that are relevant to integrated delivery networks; and
• Provide information on clinical technology as care moves from the hospital to home care and community-based settings.
