Abstract
The home healthcare staff nurse faces formidable challenges that can be met only by an extraordinary commitment to quality care. Functioning autonomously much of the time, the home healthcare nurse must act as the client's case manager. Coordination of multiple services and extensive client education are vital to positive outcomes, and intervention decisions must be based on a holistic view of the client's needs and environment. Reimbursement issues under Medicare often conflict with the delivery of high-quality care. To achieve the goals of the home healthcare agency and perform optimally, the home healthcare nurse needs a supportive QA program and frequent peer review procedures.
