title: Enhancing the quality of home health care.
abstract: A strong partnership between clinical practice and nursing education is essential to innovative home health care services. Nevertheless, these two components have not always worked in close association for mutual benefit--bringing the two together has been a continuing challenge. Recently, such an alliance was achieved in Edmonton, Alberta, brought on by necessity and triggered by rapid and substantial changes in both home health care and nursing educational environments.
