The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Catalyst has published an article, "Using Quality to Shine a Light on Homebound Care."
Drs. Christine S. Ritchie and Bruce Leff, John A. Hartford Foundation grantees, discuss home-based medical care and recent developments to grow provisions for providers to care for homebound persons.
