Emerging Challenges and Opportunities for Home Health Care in the Time of COVID-19

As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has overwhelmed hospital systems and nursing homes, skilled home health care (HHC) has emerged as an increasingly attractive alternative for patients able to receive care at home. It might be easy to imagine that HHC might emerge as a health care growth sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, HHC has great potential to expand and innovate during this time with telehealth visits and use of remote telemonitoring to provide individualized, data-driven care at home.
