How Nursing Knowledge can make a Difference in Client Outcomes is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
The impact of nursing knowledge on clients’ outcome improvement scores is elusive. A study of nine home health agencies in Ohio was conducted to explain how these agencies use nursing knowledge to raise outcome improvement scores. The audience will be able to formulate ideas for using this information in staff development, new performance improvement processes, and clinical ladder projects. Understanding the effect of nursing knowledge on patient outcome scores can assist home health agencies in understanding how to support nurses in providing quality care.
Objectives:
- Describe the purpose of the Ohio research project of nine agencies
- Review the research process
- Explain the research findings
