• Description:
  This report presents preliminary statistics on an estimated 1,5 million current patients and 3.9 million discharges from about 8,400 home and hospice care agencies in the United States. These estimates are results from the 1993 National Home and Hospice Care Survey (NHHCS). The 1993 NHHCS, a segment of the long-term care component of the National Health Care Survey (l), is the second in a series of annual surveys of home health agrmcics and hospices and 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 resulted in the need to access the availability and utilization of these services.
