A study published in JAMA Network Open found only 54% of Medicare
patients who received a referral for home health care after leaving the hospital
received that care. The findings, based on analysis of national data from
October 2015 to September 2016, showed Black and Hispanic beneficiaries and
those living in disadvantaged neighborhoods were less likely to receive home
health care than white patients or those in more affluent areas.
