We gratefully acknowledge financial support for this study and development of these web pages from the National Institute on Aging (grant no. 1 R01 AG051719).

We are also very grateful to the National Association of Health Care and Hospice (NAHC) for its support and to the many home health agencies across the country who responded to our survey. Without these agencies confidential participation in the survey, their taking the time to provide information and feedback about the quality strategies adopted by their agencies, and their willingness to share their knowledge and expertise, this web page would not have been possible. Our thanks go to each and every one of them .
