When Medicare became effective in 1966, it revolutionized home care by changing it to a medical rather than nursing model of practice, defining and limiting services it would reimburse, and changing the payment source and even changing the reason home care was provided.

The cooling techniques have caused the patient to shiver, which will increase the patient's temperature.
