Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Home Health Care Agencies in Colorado Survey

Fourth year medical student at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Nick Bianchina, along with Dr. Kristin Jensen, Dr. Alan Prochazka, and Dr. Christine Jones, are working to conduct a survey examining the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on home health care agencies in Colorado - including yours.

"We recognize alterations in services and policies may have occurred during this pandemic. The goal of this study is to understand the impact of this pandemic on home health care services with an effort to identify processes agencies may use to better plan for such an event in the future.

As a representative of your home healthcare agency, we believe you will provide a valuable resource in order to assist in understanding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on home health care.

We are hoping you will agree to participate.

• We plan to include representatives from agencies across Colorado from a variety of various agency types and patient census volumes.
• Participation will involve completion of the attached survey that takes less than 30 minutes.
• No personal questions will be asked in this survey; we are looking at your agency’s experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Please feel free to email Nicholas Bianchina, [email protected] with any questions you may have.
• For any questions about the study protocols or IRB approval feel free to contact the Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board at [email protected]
