  • Title: Normative treatment guidelines in home care: building the case.
    Author: Wilson AA.
    Journal: Home Healthc Nurse Manag; 2000; 4(5):3-7. PubMed ID: 11111470.
    Abstract:
    To effectively market programs and maximize resources under a prospective payment system, home healthcare agencies need to look closely at standardizing treatment practices by using normative treatment guidelines as a mechanism to link patient outcomes to the care provided, which can improve quality without increasing costs. This article discusses the issues, methods, and processes used to test treatment guidelines and strategies to improve existing guidelines through evidence-based research.
