  This fact sheet provides selected data highlights from the 2007 National Home and Hospice Care Survey (NHHCS), one in a continuing series of nationally representative sample surveys of U.S. home health and hospice care agencies and their patients.
  
  In 2007, data were obtained for 4,683 current home health care patients and 4,733 hospice care discharges. Eligible agencies were either certified by Medicare or Medicaid or were licensed by a state to provide services to home health care or hospice care patients, currently served home health care patients, or currently or recently served hospice care patients. Agencies were excluded from the survey if they provided only homemaker services or housekeeping services, assistance with instrumental activities of daily living, or durable medical equipment and supplies. Data were collected through in-person interviews with agency directors and their designated staffs. Public-use data files and documentation may be viewed and downloaded from the NHHCS website: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhhcs.htm.
