Description
Provider satisfaction in home care agencies, assisted living agencies, and supply and equipment agencies is beneficial for Blue Earth County Public Health (BEC PH) to fully understand contracted agency needs. The purpose of this research is to determine satisfaction of Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) providers with the communication between their agency and BEC PH. Throughout research, provider satisfaction is expected to be high. A communication survey for providers contracted with BEC PH was written and administered to HCBS providers including home care agencies, assisted living agencies, and supply and equipment agencies. Data will be collected and interpreted to determine provider satisfaction with communication between their agency and BEC PH. The satisfaction level of HCBS providers is vital for BEC PH in order to be more effective in communication as a public health department. The research is in progress and the results will be available by April, 2010. The results will be beneficial to both BEC PH and the providers by improving communication in needed areas.
