| Annotation | Applebaum questions the assumptions made by Greene in his method of assessing home care finance (based on work by Weissert and colleagues), and he elaborates on two reasons. First, it is difficult to predict outcomes of home care interventions, say, compared to admission to care home or nursing home. Second, our ability to know exactly how an intervention will affect an intended outcome is also an unknown. While home care interventions and outcomes should continue to be examined, titration is a technique for the chemistry laboratory. (RH). |
