title: Computer and Internet use by home care and hospice agencies.
abstract: Nurses in home healthcare and hospice are embracing the advances in computer science and technology to provide an edge in administration and clinical practice. Of concern to nurse managers is the extent to which personal computers and the Internet have been used in home healthcare and hospice, and what information, opportunities, and needs related to education are on the horizon. This article discusses the results of a national survey conducted exclusively on the World Wide Web to answer these questions.
