• Description:
  The 1994 National Home and Hospice Care Survey was a nationwide sample survey of agencies providing home health and hospice care, their current patients, and their discharges. Basic demographic information about the patients was collected. It included information about living arrangements, functional statuses, caregiver and referral sources, primary source of payment, services received, and service providers used. Current and admission diagnoses for each patient were collected according to the International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification, 9th Revision. The data were collected by personal interview using three questionnaires and two sampling lists. Data are presented in 61 tables according to standard sets of descriptive variables. The tables on patients are grouped into four categories: home health care current patients, home health care discharges, current hospice care patients, and hospice care discharges. Data are presented on agency charac- teristics, demographic characteristics, utilization measures, and health and functional status of current patients and discharges.
