Enhancing end-of-life care

Research Assistant Professor Hyosin (Dawn) Kim has published a column in the October issue of HomeCare magazine. The magazine targets a diverse audience, including home health industry professionals, providers, agencies, and caregivers.

The column summarizes population-based research among Medicare beneficiaries, conducted in collaboration with researchers at Rutgers University. It highlights the growing need for home-based care for older adults and the vital role of home health services in complementing end-of-life care for individuals with chronic and serious illnesses.

Additionally, Kim emphasizes the importance of policy support to ensure that the homecare workforce is adequately prepared to care for patients with advanced illnesses.
