Abstract
Financial and regulatory changes in home healthcare pose a tremendous challenge to achieve patient outcomes that are sensitive to nursing care and patient satisfaction. This study described the relationship of nurses' understanding of their roles, nurses' decision making, nursing technology, agency ownership, location, and patient outcomes. Research questions investigated the relationship among selected variables and patient outcomes, and whether the relationship differs based on agency ownership and location.
