- 요약Home health provides clinical care to a population comprised largely of aging and homebound adults. To be reimbursed by Medicare it must be delivered in an episodic, intermittent fashion when acute needs arise. The demand for home health services is projected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Home health nurses, who deliver much of the care, have shown signs of workforce instability characterized by diminishing workforce presence and high rates of turnover and workplace vacancy rates. Gaining a better understanding of home health nurse workforce issues is vital to ensure that there is a capacity to meet growing need for services and to design a home health system that better meets the needs of its patients. A series of secondary analyses of large, nationally representative datasets were conducted to explore the scope and nature of nurse turnover and work-related challenges, including turnover from home health workplaces, the broader home health sector, and utilization of nursing and non-nursing home health services. We found that home health nurses were more likely to leave the home health setting compared to hospital nurses leaving the hospital setting and were more likely to leave their workplaces farther along in their careers than nurses in hospital settings. Long hours were predictive of workplace turnover for home health nurses. Few nurses from other sectors were likely to enter home health as new employment. We also found a tendency for chronically ill and functionally impaired patients to require home healthcare repeatedly and by diverse care teams comprised of nurses and other professionals like physical therapists and care aides. Taken together, our results suggest a need to attract and retain newer-career nurses to home health, to explore modifiable time-consuming work tasks, highlight dangers of contemporary payment systems that disincentivize multidisciplinary care, and ultimately question the fittingness of the intermittent, episodic care system. Our use of national data suggest that these issues transcend specific locales and may therefore be amenable to reform from federal bodies like Medicare, which plays a large role in the regulation and reimbursement of home healthcare.
