在过去的20年里，家庭护理经历了巨大的变化。家庭护理行业发展成为大企业，并开发和评估了许多创新的家庭护理模式。尽管医生出诊的次数比半个世纪前少了很多，但最近出诊培训、教育和实践又有了复苏。此外，远程医疗和其他技术为家庭护理的未来带来了巨大的希望。然而，家庭护理的未来历史将主要取决于医疗保健系统中各种利益相关者的能力，以认识到家庭护理的价值，并制定和实施适当的激励措施，以鼓励其在美国医疗保健系统中的适当地位。
Over the last 20 years, home care has experienced significant change. The home care industry developed into big business and a number of innovative models of home care were developed and evaluated. Although physicians perform many fewer house calls than a half-century ago, there has been a recent revival in house-call training, education, and practice. In addition, telemedicine and other technologies hold great promise for the future of home care. However, the future history of home care will depend mostly on the ability of various stakeholders in the health care system to recognize the value of home care and develop and implement the appropriate incentives to encourage its proper place in the U.S. health care system.
