HISTORY OF HOME HEALTHCARE 

1813- The Ladies Benevolent Society, (LBS), a group of women volunteers in Charleston, South Carolina, began the first efforts at providing home care services.  

1875- The National Nursing Association for Providing Trained Nurses for the Sick Poor was created in England. 

1890- There were 21 home care visiting nursing associations.  

1909- The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company began to send nurses into their policyholders’ homes to provide nursing services.  

1920s- Many of the home care agencies closed due to the poor economy and the nursing shortage during World War II. The establishment of hospitals resulted in a model where patients moved from receiving care in the homes to into hospitals. 

1950s – 1960s- It became clear that there was again a growing need for home care services. 

1965- Medicare was established for people over 65 years of age, that home care services were once again covered by insurance.  

1980- Omnibus Reconciliation Act:- 

• Removed the limits on the number of home care visits. 
• Removed the prior hospitalization requirements. 
• Extended participation in Medicare home care to for-profit home care agencies. 

1989-1996 – Medicare home health care payments increased an average of 33% per year.

HOME HEALTHCARE INNOVATIONS 

Few of recent home healthcare technology innovations: 

• Mobile technology partners with artificial intelligence to guide patients through therapy treatments at home. 
• For Alzheimer’s patients, there is a tool that detects when they are having a difficult time with a specific daily task. The artificial intelligence reacts to emotional cues from the patients, using a microphone and camera equipment installed in the home. It then guides the patient through the task. 

• Another technology, called a “tremor spoon,” evaluates patients with Parkinson’s to evaluate and monitor symptoms. 
• Barcode Medication Administration (BCMA), the software was designed to improve medication administration accuracy and to generate online patient medication records. The application was created by the Eastern Kansas Health Care System and the Colmery-O’Neil VA Medical Centre. The nationally implemented Barcode Medication Administration software enables users to document electronically the administration of medications at the bedside, or where other points of care are involved. Barcode technology and real-time network connectivity are used to improve the accuracy of medication administration.
