Identifying the competencies required for the nurse manager role is a focus of much of the literature on nursing education and workforce. The unique nature of home health care nursing requires specially designed tools that reflect its distinctive nature. This article describes how one home health care nursing agency developed an assessment tool to measure nurse manager competencies and how the agency uses the tool to provide staff-development programs for their nurse managers.
