Home Health Agencies & Hospice Annual Utilization Report - Complete Data Set

Home Health Agencies (HHA) provide at home skilled nursing, personal care and therapeutic services. Hospices provide palliative care and alleviate the physical, emotional, social and spiritual discomforts of an individual who is experiencing the last phases of life due to the existence of a terminal disease. In addition, hospices provide supportive care for the primary care giver and the family of the hospice patient. Home health agencies and hospices submit an annual utilization report to the Office at the end of each calendar year. The report includes information on services capacity, visits, utilization, patient characteristics, and capital/equipment expenditures, and gross revenues. The documentation, including report forms, is available for each reporting year.

Temporal Coverage

On an annual basis (individual facility calendar year). There will be a 5 year trend on most data sources, however, you may search for other years on the HCAI website. Starting with the 2005 annual utilization data file, there will be two phases of data released. The preliminary data file released in the spring will contain data that has passed the prescribed set of fatal errors in the ALIRTS system and was therefore accepted into HCAI. The second data file released in the fall will be the desk-audited data and is considered the final version of the annual utilization data file. Please note that this preliminary set of data will only be live and downloadable on the web page up and to the point that the final version is released and then the preliminary data file will be replaced by the final data file. The pivot tables will be created in the fall for the desk audited data.
