| | IHCNO is truly an international organization composed of members from 18 countries that include all six geographic regions identified by the World Health Organization. Our Board of Directors represents six countries to ensure international perspectives on our committees’ activities and projects. Because IHCNO is recognized as the only international organization of home healthcare nurses, we receive requests from individuals and home care agencies for guidelines and recommendations for professional nurse and aide training, continuing education formats to help nurses transition from acute care to home care practice, and content for undergraduate curriculum. |

| | Your input is needed. The University of Iowa is updating the Nursing Interventions Classification and needs home health nurses to review the current list to determine if the list is still accurate. The intent is to create a list of interventions that represent the interventions that are most frequently done. It is NOT an exhaustive list of all possible home care interventions. The survey should take between 25 to 30 minutes to complete |
