Home health is a nursing specialty in which nurses provide multidimensional[1] home care to patients of all ages. Home health care is a cost efficient way to deliver quality care in the convenience of the client's home.[2] Home health nurses create care plans to achieve goals based on the client's diagnosis. These plans can include preventive, therapeutic, and rehabilitative actions.[1] Home health nurses also supervise certified nursing assistants. The professional nursing organization for home health nurses is the Home Healthcare Nurses Association (HHNA).[3] Home health care is intended for clients that are well enough to be discharged home, but still require skilled nursing personnel to assess, initiate and oversee nursing interventions.
