title: Future preparation of home health nurse executives.
abstract: The responsibilities of home care nurse executives were investigated. A 51 item survey developed by an expert panel was completed by 54 home care nurse executives in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Respondents evaluated the importance and time spent on each activity. A second expert panel identified where each activity is usually taught in an interdisciplinary curriculum. Based on the survey results, recommendations for graduate education for home care nurse executives were developed, emphasizing course content in the areas of law and policy, financial management, marketing, quality assurance, and organizational behavior.
