"WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Quality Forum (NQF) today announced publication of a new set of national consensus standards for home care. National Voluntary Consensus Standards for Home Health Care provides a set of standardized performance measures, to facilitate comparison of the quality of home health care providers.
