Primary care nursing in home healthcare.
Central Coast Visiting Nurse Association in Monterey, California, has a program called Primary Care Nursing that offers many benefits for patients, physicians, and nurses. Patient care in the home setting is enhanced with the continuity provided by the same registered nurse. The patient's physician comes to rely on the knowledge and skills of the primary care nurse in the field, and communication is enhanced. As primary care nurses, registered nurses advance their career opportunities and home care case management skills.
