| Annotation | In the last 20 years, home care in the US 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 home calls than half a century ago, there has been a recent revival in house-call training, education and practice. However, the future history of home care will depend mostly on the ability of various stakeholders in the health care system to recognise the value of home care, and to develop and implement the appropriate incentives to encourage its proper place in the US health care system.
