Rn Delegation: the New Jersey Task Force recommendations

Because licensure and delegation clauses are determined state by state, all statewide home care associations need to begin a dialogue concerning delegation and how it impacts the nurse's practice and the way agencies deliver care in the community. State organizations need to communicate with each other and share concerns and experiences with other state home care organizations. Nursing boards, nursing and home health aide associations, advocates for long-term care patients, and the older population also need to be involved in the discussion. This open dialogue between many different organizations concerning delegation will ensure that patients receive safe, quality care that is also cost effective.
