Continuity of care at heart of doctor's at-home plan

According to Dr. Ranjan, the Visiting Nurse Association of Ohio currently is the only organization that provides home health and psychiatry services in Greater Cleveland. Because some patients who receive health or psychiatric care in a hospital but don't receive in-home follow up care fail to adhere to their doctors' orders, their condition worsens once at home and they wind up back in the hospital, Dr. Ranjan said.
