International priorities for home care education, research, practice, and management: qualitative content analysis.
The purpose of this study was to articulate an international vision for the future of home care education, research, practice, and management shared by experienced home care nurses working in leadership roles. Four major themes emerged, in this qualitative study, reflecting international priorities for the future of home care education, research, practice, and management: 1) Build the evidence base for home care; 2) Design better systems of care; 3) Develop leaders at all levels; and 4) Address payment and policy issues.

Impact of home care admission nurses' goals on electronic health record documentation strategies at the point of care.
The article reports on a study designed to investigate documentation strategies used by home care nurses with respect to entering electronic data during admission as well as the effect of nursing goals on the process. This was done to characterize admission nurses' practices at the point of care and to establish a basis for design recommendations for electronic health records (EHRs). Five nurses in rural Pennsylvania home care agencies were observed during the admission process. The results of the study lead the authors to recommend that EHR design and training should support the manner in which home care nurses document patient encounters.

Usability evaluation of a dashboard for home care nurses.
Usability tests were conducted on a creation of a dashboard prototype for home care nurses for their patients’ electronic health records (EHRs). The prototype was created by first observing and interviewing several nurses; getting feedback on paper versions of the dashboard; and then a usability evaluation of the electronic prototype. The dashboard was positively evaluated.
