    Abstract:
    Individual interviews were conducted with twelve visiting home care nurses in three home care agencies in a Midwest state to determine how they adapted to the Prospective Payment System (PPS) of 2000. Strategies used by the nurses included organization, understanding the documentation, financial awareness, greater emphasis on discharge planning, patient accountability, greater emphasis on teaching, and team work.
