  1. home-health patients who had to be admitted to the hospital. Lower values are better. A missing value for a provider often means that 'The number of patient episodes for this measure is too small to report'. Less often it means that 'This measure currently does not have data or provider has been certified/recertified for less than 6 months.' Rarely it means that 'There were problems with the data and they are being corrected.'. Except where noted, all data come from the Oct 30, 2020 update at Home Health Compare and all changes-over-time are over a year, comparing to the Oct 30, 2019 update.

    • In some cases, the actual street-level addresses were not found anywhere, especially when only PO Boxes were provided, so in those cases, zip code coordinates were used. And because the average land area of a zip code is around 90 square miles, it is possible that some locations may be misrepresented.
