Health care in the home - new report July 18
For many reasons -- including the rising cost of health care and aging of the U.S. population -- health care is increasingly moving from formal medical facilities into patients' homes.
A wide range of procedures and therapies are now carried out far from any hospital or clinic, often with no health care professional on site.
