A foundational tool designed to help home-based care organizations define the scope, responsibilities, and qualifications for RN roles delivering care in patients’ homes. It offers a structured outline that includes key duties, competencies, and working conditions relevant to primary care, palliative, and hospice services. Organizations should revise this framework to reflect the specific needs of their practice - such as the care model focus, geographic service area, team structure, and supervisory relationships. Adjustments may also be needed to align organizational culture, technology platforms, and regulatory requirements, ensuring the final job description accurately represents the role and attracts candidates who are well-prepared for the unique demands of home-based nursing care.
