Characteristics of Home Health Agencies by ownership type and chain status, for the years 2005 and 2018 Prior studies have examined the home health market and performance of home health agencies by ownership as well as the relationship between ownership type and chain status.

The Evolution of Home: English Interiors for a New Era Author Emma Sims-Hilditch, with Giles Kime, Photographs by Simon Brown, Foreword by Kit Kemp Whether the project is an urban townhouse, a seaside cottage, an ancestral residence, or a lakeside retreat, the approach of Sims Hilditch is always the same—a collaboration with clients to make stylish, comfortable homes that offer the perfect settings for everyday life. The book explores how the studio creates rooms where people live healthy and vibrant lives, aware of the changing seasons and embracing the comforts of a slower lifestyle—resulting in a holistic picture of design in the twenty-first century. Our study provides evidence that notable differences existed in quality performance and patient outcomes between chain and nonchain agencies, in the aggregate. In future research, it will be crucial to investigate the root causes leading to this difference. The causes could be underlying quality differences or systematic reporting practice differences between chain and nonchain agencies. Moreover, as the behaviors of newly acquired health care providers could be largely impacted by the new parent companies, quality reporting and monitoring at chain‐level could provide information on quality performance at an organizational level, beyond just an agency basis. 14, 16 Additionally, chain‐level quality performance could be considered when approving business activities such as mergers and acquisitions.

In the early 1900s, only around 10 per cent of people owned their own home, but by the end of the 1930s this had risen to around 25 per cent. By 1939 more than one million council houses had been built. For the three self‐reported process measures, chain‐owned agencies (for‐profit and nonprofit) on average performed better compared to all other agency types. Two self‐reported outcome measures (the percent of patients who got better at walking or moving around, the percent of patients who got better at bathing) told a similar story: chain agencies out‐performed nonchain agencies. Finally, chain agencies (both for‐profit and nonprofit) had a greater share of patients who needed urgent, unplanned care in the emergency room, compared to nonchain agencies (both for‐profit and nonprofit). Government‐owned HHAs performed the worst on this measure. Ogura, T. (2002). Zenkoku no jyutaku kaisyu sien seido no doukou (Japasense: The trend of municipal home modification support programs).

Monitoring and reporting quality of care is critical to ensure transparency and accountability within the home health market. A series of quality measures have been reported on Home Health Compare since 2003 to facilitate informed decision making for providers to refer patients and for enrollees to choose an HHA for themselves. In the home health industry, it is common for individual agencies to have a different name from their parent chain; therefore, chain‐level quality information could provide enrollees with more clarity about the culture and organizational structure of an HHA. The pandemic has significantly changed consumer behaviour in Asia’s home kitchens, encouraging new routines and eating habits in the home derived mainly from reduced mobility and heightened hygiene awareness.
