the Final Report
 The
goal of the Briggs® National Quality Improvement/
Hospitalization Reduction Study was to identify the
best strategies and best practices being used by nation’s
top agencies for improving quality and reducing unplanned
hospitalizations. The study focused on the top 10% of
agencies, those with hospitalization rates of 19% or
lower. The national average has been fixated on 28%
since the inception of CMS’s publicly reported
Home Health Compare. www.medicare.gov
The study is now complete and the final report has been published.
