Identifying cost-based quality and performance indicators for home care: a modified delphi method study.

Background: This study, part of a multi-study program, aimed to identify a core set of cost-based quality and performance indicators using a modified Delphi research approach. Conceptually, this core set of cost-based indicators is intended for use within a broader health system performance framework for evaluating home care programming in Canada.

Methods: This study used findings from a recently published scoping review identifying 34 cost-focused home care program PQIs.
