Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Nursing Administration
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Rising demand for uncompensated home care presents significant challenges for healthcare providers.
  • Public health nursing and visiting nurse associations are crucial in delivering essential home care services.
  • Understanding adaptive strategies is vital for ensuring service sustainability and quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify coping strategies employed by public health nursing and visiting nurse associations facing increased uncompensated home care demand.
  • To analyze factors influencing the adoption of these strategies, including agency characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was distributed to public health nursing and visiting nurse associations in the upper midwest.
  • Data were collected from 161 agencies regarding their experiences with uncompensated care and implemented strategies.
  • Statistical analysis was used to examine variations in strategy use based on demand, agency size, and type.

Main Results:

  • 129 out of 161 surveyed agencies reported an increased demand for uncompensated care.
  • Public health nursing agencies and smaller organizations were more likely to experience this increased demand.
  • Strategy implementation (cost reduction, revenue enhancement, quality assurance) varied significantly by agency characteristics; larger agencies and visiting nurse associations more frequently adopted these strategies. Six strategies were utilized by over 50% of agencies.

Conclusions:

  • Public health nursing and visiting nurse associations are actively implementing diverse strategies to address escalating uncompensated home care needs.
  • Agency size and type are key determinants in the selection and application of these management and financial strategies.
  • The findings highlight the need for tailored support and resource allocation for agencies facing high uncompensated care demands.
