Feedback:
Several types of agencies provide home care services. If an agency is called a "Home Health Agency" or a "Visiting Nurse Service," it has usually been certified by Medicare as a Community Nursing Organization (CNO). If Medicare reimbursement is used for funding, the Pay for Performance [P4P] program must be in place. Some agencies maintain certification by The Joint Commission (formerly known as Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations [JCAHO]. Other agencies are licensed by the health department of the province, state, or territory in which they are located.
