title: Views on the future of nursing and home healthcare: the future of nursing in home healthcare is now.
abstract: "My view you know is that the ultimate destination is the nursing of the sick in their own homes. ... I look to the abolition of all hospitals and workhouse infirmaries. But it is no use to talk about the year 2000." -Florence Nightingale, 1867 ().
