Right at Home is scheduled to join a national study conducted by Harvard Medical School examining the effects homecare providers have on reducing unnecessary client hospitalizations and lowering healthcare costs.
The Omaha-based franchise hopes the data will help make its case for homecare agencies to receive Medicare reimbursements for their contribution to cost containment.
"Nobody's studying it in the way we're doing it, especially not with this national population, so this is really the first evaluation of its kind," said David Grabowski, professor of healthcare policy at Harvard Medical School and the study's principal investigator.

Robert Scandura, CEO and owner of Right at Home for Hartford County, is thrilled to be a part of the study that Harvard is conducting.
