AB  - Home health agencies are in a position to respond to patient and healthcare 
      system needs by implementing strategies targeted at reducing avoidable 
      hospitalizations. Many different interventions exist that home care agencies can 
      use in achieving the national goal to reduce avoidable acute care 
      hospitalizations. This article provides an overview of the Home Health Quality 
      Improvement (HHQI) National Campaign and the efforts directed toward this 
      initiative. This overview explains the 4 best practices explored in depth by the
