he International Home Care Nurses Organization is a gathering of international nurses — ranging from RNs to clergy, aides and therapists — who come together to share what they know about home healthcare nursing. Susan Hinck, PhD, president of organization, and Marilyn Harris, RN, a board member, recently returned from a three-day global conference in London at which nurses represented 33 countries. It’s helpful to learn what other countries are doing in the area of home healthcare nursing, Hinck said. The Scandinavian countries —with their universal access to healthcare — in particular are an international model of strong home care nursing. Technology has allowed nurses in the home to provide more hands-on care, Hinck said. And the increased focus on social determinants of health has helped to improve the health of home care patients, Harris noted.
