Home Health Patient Outcomes Tracker

Highest Readmission Rates
Agencies with the highest percentage of patients re-hospitalized during or after their home health episode. The national average is approximately 15–16%. Rates above 18% are a significant red flag.
Highest ER Use Rates
Emergency department visits without subsequent hospitalization. High ER use often indicates inadequate symptom management or poor patient education — problems a competent home health agency should prevent.

About This Data
Patient outcome measures are sourced from the CMS Home Health Compare dataset, derived from the Outcome and Assessment Information Set (OASIS) that agencies are required to submit for every patient episode. Hospital readmission and ER use rates are risk-adjusted by CMS to account for patient acuity and case mix, making cross-agency comparisons meaningful.
Data is refreshed quarterly by CMS. Functional improvement measures (mobility, bathing, bed transfer, breathing, wound healing, and medication management) reflect the percentage of patients who showed measurable improvement at discharge compared to the start of care.
