Description:This report is the third in a series of reports on home health care and hospice agencies, their staff, and the people they serve, The first two reports presented data from the 1992 and 1993 National Home and Hospice Care Surveys (NHHCS) (1,2). The data presented in this report are based on the 1994 NHHCS. They represent an estimated 2.0 million current patients and 5.6 million discharges from approximately 10,900 home and hospice care agencies in the United States. The NHHCS, which is a segment of the long-term care component of the National Health Care Survey (3), is an annual survey of home health agencies and hospices—their current patients and discharges. The National Center for Health Statistics instituted this nationwide sample survey in 1992 in response to the rapid growth in the number of these agencies throughout the United States, This growth led to a need for information on the availability and utilization of services offered by home health and hospice agencies.
