Abstract
Economic growth and reforms have created the need to develop new models for the delivery of health care to the 1.3 billion population of China. Many Chinese people are responsible for funding their own hospitalizations and when the funds are no longer available, they must leave the hospital. As a result, home care is being considered as an alternative for patients to receive the health care they need in a more cost-efficient manner.
