Mental health consultation in a home care agency. 1978

E Palermo

A mental health nurse, educationally and clinically prepared as a specialist, can be effectively utilized as a consultant to aid nurse generalists in assessment and intervention of patients in a home health care agency. An individual staff nurse consulting with the specialist or a group of nurses provides the setting for consultant led case discussions. Consultation is a highly efficient use of specialist's knowledge and skills in health care delivery, and also provides learning opportunities for staff.
