Which term corresponds to the evaluation when care is restarted after an interruption?

Resumption of Care Assessment is the evaluation performed when home health services resume after an interruption. It captures the patient’s current status—functional abilities, wounds, pain, medications, living situation, and caregiver support—and uses that information to update the care plan and confirm continued eligibility for services. This distinguishes itself from a Start of Care assessment, which is done at the very beginning of services to establish a baseline. The term Death at Home Assessment is used in scenarios involving death and is not about restarting care, and Quality Episodes refers to a quality-measure concept rather than a restart evaluation.
