This MHCA-exclusive educational package is designed for Home Care Nursing (HCN) agencies that currently use the HCN hourly qualification tool or are looking to use this in the future to evaluate or assess the number of hours of care appropriate for a HCN client.

In this package, we include the following:

• 1-hour presentation that explains the history of the HCN hourly qualification tool, why and how it is used including best practices, and two mock scenarios to test your staff knowledge of the tool.
• Write ups on three mock scenarios (two of which are discussed in the presentation). The scenarios include the necessary client information to accurately complete the HCN hourly qualification tool, and a copy of the completed HCN scoring tool.
• Blank HCN hourly qualification tool in two formats: word and PDF.
