The mission of the Alliance is to foster research and education on the value of home health care to patients and the overall U.S. health care system. The Alliance for Home Health Quality and Innovation ’s Future of Home Health Report has released its final report , noting that home health agencies will play three key roles in the strategic framework of healthcare . Home health agencies will provide post - acute care and acute care in the home ; will partner with primary care ; and will partner with community based long - term care programs . Designing a strategic home healthcare delivery system will aid the ability of home health agencies to ensure that patients improve or maintain stability , the report ’s authors said . The report recommends three strategies for enabling home health agencies to reach their full potential : reducing regulatory obstacles to risk sharing , thus empowering home health agencies to participate fully in care coordination ; allowing further flexibility for delivery home health care through alternative payment models , including regulatory waivers to encourage cost - effective practices ; and eliminating home health care fraud by identifying common patters in aberrant claims , cutting down on program waste . Home health care of the future will aim to provide patient - centred , responsive services that are coordinated and technology enabled , as well as being of high quality .
