    • Healthcare Management
    • Organizational Theory

    Background:

    • Home healthcare nurses often face pressure to meet high daily service unit targets.
    • This can lead to nurses being perceived as mere service providers rather than skilled professionals.
    • Lack of theoretical application in daily practice management is a significant issue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the application of caseload management theory in home healthcare nursing.
    • To determine how theoretical knowledge influences nurses' practice management.
    • To advocate for a shift from productivity-driven metrics to theory-informed practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of nursing practice in home healthcare settings.
    • Exploration of the integration of caseload management theory into daily workflows.
    • Interviews or case studies focusing on nurses' perceptions and experiences.

    Main Results:

    • Nurses are more inclined to utilize caseload management theory when its principles are understood.
    • Application of theory promotes a more holistic and effective approach to patient care.
    • Reduced emphasis on arbitrary service units enhances professional autonomy and job satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Caseload management theory provides a valuable framework for home healthcare nursing practice.
    • Integrating theory enhances efficiency, effectiveness, and professional satisfaction.
