HOME VISITING PROGRAMS-ENHANCING HEALTH OUTCOMES AND REDUCING HEALTHCARE COSTS THROUGH HOME-BASED NURSING INTERVENTIONS

Abstract

Home visiting programs offer a unique approach to healthcare delivery by providing personalized, home-based nursing interventions to individuals and families. These programs aim to improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and promote overall well-being. This review explores the effectiveness of home visiting programs, their impact on health outcomes and healthcare costs, and key considerations for successful implementation. We discuss the various models of home visiting programs, their target populations, and the role of community health nurses in delivering these interventions. Additionally, we highlight the challenges faced by home visiting programs and propose strategies for overcoming these challenges.
