Abstract: Private equity (PE) ownership in the healthcare sector has increased, raising concerns about its impact on care quality and patient outcomes. In the U.S., private equity-owned home health agencies (HHAs) make up a growing share of the market. This study aims to compare the performance of PE-owned HHAs with non-PE-owned agencies across several quality measures.
