Overview

The Home Health Department provides full service home health to patients in Wake County and some of the surrounding counties. The Clinical Nurse is responsible for providing total comprehensive nursing to patients and their families through the implementation of a plan of care. The plan is based upon the patient's developmental and health care needs identified through the assessment of the patient's physical, psychological, socioeconomic status, and physician orders regarding care, treatment, and education. The Clinical Nurse understands the needs of the organization and supports the mission, values, and management of patient care services.

At WakeMed, our nurses follow the ANA Scope and Standards of Practice, North Carolina Board of Nursing Practice Act, WakeMed's Division of Nursing Professional Practice model, with a strong commitment to WakeMed's Patient- and Family-Centered Care (PFCC) model:

• Dignity & Respect – We listen and honor each patient’s values, preferences, and needs in every interaction.
• Information Sharing – We communicate openly and clearly to empower informed decisions.
• Participation – We encourage patients and families to be active partners in their care and decision-making at the level they choose.
• Collaboration – We work across disciplines to deliver compassionate, coordinated care alongside patients and their families.
