As persons with AIDS are increasingly referred to home care, there is a need for home care agencies to offer comprehensive care to meet the special needs of this population. Over the past six years, the Visiting Nurse Association of Los Angeles has developed a program involving the coordination of services and staff of their affiliated corporations.
In summary, the VNA of Los Angeles has found that the pay-per-visit system provides tremendous costsavings and that it has eliminated visit productivity problems. Additionally, field staff have found that the system can improve their earning power. Although the development, initiation, and maintenance of the pay-per-visit system requires a significant commitment of both time and effort, it is a system that we highly recommend to other home health organizations.
