The health care field is moving rapidly toward integrated delivery systems (IDS). The role of home care in such system is unclear. This study seeks to describe the current status of home care in IDS and to examine health care administrators' perceptions about the importance of IDS components. A random sample of 1600 administrators was surveyed, 400 each from home care agencies, hospitals, nursing homes, and medical groups. Results reveal that hospitals lead integration, nursing homes are least involved, and home care agencies and medical groups fall in between. Administrator's opinions vary considerably about the importance of select services and integrating mechanisms.
