    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Administration
    • Nursing Practice
    • Regulatory Compliance

    Background:

    • The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA 87) introduced substantial regulatory changes for Home Health Agencies (HHAs).
    • These legislative changes necessitate adjustments in patient care standards, staff training, and administrative processes within HHAs.
    • Home healthcare nurses face evolving responsibilities and require updated knowledge to navigate these new requirements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the key changes implemented by OBRA 87 for HHAs and home healthcare nurses.
    • To emphasize the importance of structural and process criteria for successful HHA operations and regulatory compliance.
    • To address and potentially reduce apprehension among nurses regarding the revised certification and recertification procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of OBRA 87 mandates impacting HHAs.
    • Analysis of changes in patient rights, aide training, and competency evaluation.
    • Examination of the revised certification/recertification process for HHAs.

    Main Results:

    • OBRA 87 implementation has led to the establishment of a patient bill of rights.
    • Mandatory training and competency evaluations for home healthcare aides are now standard.
    • A revised certification and recertification process has been introduced for HHAs.

    Conclusions:

    • Sound structural and process criteria are fundamental for HHAs to meet OBRA 87 standards.
    • Effective implementation of OBRA 87 facilitates the identification of patient-focused outcomes during site visits.
    • Increased knowledge of OBRA 87 requirements can alleviate nurses' apprehension regarding regulatory processes.
