Authors in this issue include Hartford grantee Bruce Leff, who developed the Hospital at Home model, who with Christine Ritchie and others write about advancements in setting quality-of-care standards for home-based primary and palliative care.
The series was supported by the John A. Hartford Foundation with a two-year grant approved in 2013. Under the Policy and Communications portfolio, the grant will both advance best practices in geriatric care and position aging and health policy issues as central to the national health care dialogue.
