The International Guidelines for Home Health Nursing Practice (Guidelines) are guiding principles for nurses who aspire to provide excellent care to patients in their homes. The Guidelines were developed by international home care nurses from diverse countries to provide guidance to nurses around the globe who seek to develop their professional home healthcare practice and performance.
The International Home Care Nurses Organization (IHCNO) seeks to advance home care nursing around the world by providing a platform where nurses can support and learn from one another. We define “home care nurses” as nurses who provide care to patients in their homes. Home care nursing’s patients include those with acute or chronic health problems, no matter how young or old. Patients include those receiving hospital-at-home, skilled, private duty and palliative services, and many other types of care provided in the patient’s home. We recognize that home care nursing is a specialized area of nursing practice and we seek to support nurses in home healthcare clinical practice, education and research.
We are a dynamic and committed network of home care nurses. We do not share your name or personal contact information with any other organization. Joining means receiving our email updates and participating in our network as desired.
Learn MoreMelinda Huffman, BSN, MSN, CCNS, CHC, Co-Founder, The National Society of Health Coaches has generously provided for the IHCNO network a webinar “Health Coaching: Tapping Into the Patient’s Own Motivation to Change Health Behavior.”
Melinda says: There is a major shift away from the clinician’s traditional approach of telling the patient how to change health behavior to that of using evidence-based conversational skills to tap into the patient’s own motivation to change. This brief discussion reveals two important aspects of this notable change in patient engagement and how home care is the optimal setting for this to take place!
