In short

  • A group of professionals, including a physician and a registered nurse, advises the Agency and reviews its key policies every year.
  • Every year the Agency also evaluates its whole program to see whether care is appropriate, adequate, effective and efficient.
  • The data you record, such as visits, discharges and referrals, are used in that evaluation, so record them accurately.
  • Ideas for improving our policies are welcome; give them to the Administrator before the yearly review.
