Michigan Home Health Stats Part 1 of 4 : The Vital Role of Home Health

Part 1 of 4. In this series, explore new Michigan Home Health and the vital role played by coordinated home health care to help patients recover safely at home, manage complex needs, and transition safely home with greater confidence. 

The Statistics Behind the Crucial Role of Home Health Care

Home health care is a vital part of care delivery in Michigan — especially for patients recovering after hospitalization, managing chronic conditions, or needing ongoing skilled support at home.

For medically complex patients, the capabilities of the home health provider matter. Advanced clinical capabilities can help support higher-acuity needs at home, strengthen continuity after discharge, and give referral partners greater confidence that patients will receive the skilled care, monitoring, and coordination they need. 

Three Michigan home health statistics1 help demonstrate the scale and importance of home health: 

  •  88.22% of home health users have 3+ chronic conditions
  •  12.8% of inpatient hospital stays discharge to home health 
  •  74,026 home health beneficiaries in Michigan

Together, these numbers tell an important story: home health is not just supportive care. It is skilled, coordinated care that helps patients recover safely at home, manage complex needs, and transition from hospital to home with greater confidence.
