Introduction

Article Abstract:

In-home services have grown despite the notion that federal resource problems will compromise health care programs for older people. There are 15,027 home care agencies in the U.S. as of March 1994, excluding those that are not recognized by the National Association of Home Care. Although representing only a relatively small part of the health care sector, home care is the fastest growing segment of the health care delivery system with a growth rate of 15%-20% per year.

Marketing techniques for home care programs

Article Abstract:

A growing number of home care agencies are implementing aggressive marketing efforts to foster long-term organizational survival. However, some marketing initiatives are bound to fail because of lack of preliminary planning and research, lack of focus, lack of financial resources and expertise and unrealistic goals. Effective marketing initiatives in home health allow home care agencies to anticipate and react to business and economic changes and government regulations.
