2023 RIHC Home Care Chartbook,
Co-Sponsored by NAHC


The Institute is excited to announce the 2023 RIHC Home Care Chartbook is now available online! 

Highlighted by data on Medicare Advantage home health patients, workforce trends, and more, the Chartbook is an invaluable tool for understanding the role home care plays in the U.S. healthcare landscape. 

Released annually, the Chartbook,  summarizes and analyzes statistics on home health from a range of government sources. The Chartbook offers a glimpse of home health patients, the home health workforce, organizational trends, and the economic contribution of home health agencies. The Chartbook includes updated statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Medicare Cost Reports, Home Health Compare, Medicare fee-for-service claims, the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, and other data from CMS. 

We would like to thank 2023 Chartbook sponsor NAHC for their continued support of the Institute and the Chartbook. Learn more about NAHC Click Here:

International Home Care Nurses Organization

The International Home Care Nurses Organization (IHCNO) seeks to advance home care nursing around the world by providing a platform where nurses can support and learn from one another. We define “home care nurses” as nurses who provide care to patients in their homes. Home care nursing’s patients include those with acute or chronic health problems, no matter how young or old. Patients include those receiving hospital-at-home, skilled, private duty and palliative services, and many other types of care provided in the patient’s home. We recognize that home care nursing is a specialized area of nursing practice and we seek to support nurses in home healthcare clinical practice, education and research.
