Bridging the Gap: Integrating Clinical Oversight into Non-Medical Home Care (Home Care) 1 CE - Admin, Nursing - DISCOVER ROOM
Wednesday May 20, 2026 10:30am - 11:30am MDT
As Colorado’s home care landscape evolves, the line between non-medical and clinical care is becoming increasingly blurred. This session explores how agencies can successfully integrate nursing oversight into traditional non-medical home care models to improve outcomes, compliance, and continuity of care. Drawing from real-world experience transitioning from a Class B to Class A license, participants will learn how to structure nurse-directed programs for medication management, wound care, and oxygen therapy while maintaining a person-centered, relationship-based approach. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for building interdisciplinary care teams, meeting CDPHE standards, and elevating their agency’s quality, reputation, and revenue potential through clinical integration.
