Home visits can strengthen the relationship between healthcare providers and their patients. Patients may feel more comfortable and at ease in their home environment, which can lead to improved communication and collaboration between the patient and healthcare provider. Home visits can also provide an opportunity for healthcare providers to build rapport with the patient’s family members and caregivers, which can improve the patient’s overall care.
By increasing access to care, improving patient outcomes, providing patient-centered care, reducing costs, and strengthening the provider-patient relationship, home visits can play an important role in the delivery of primary care services.
