INTRODUCTIONAround the world, home health nurses provide care for individuals, support families and interact with communities. Research and evidence-based practice are important components of home health nursing and bring value to our profession and specialty. The IHCNO is interested in fostering relationships with and between researchers or clinicians that investigate the quality of home health care and home health nursing within the international community. We are especially interested in research related to the International Guidelines for Home Health Nursing.

Announcing: 2025 IHCNO Marilyn D. Harris Research Grant The purpose of the funding is to provide seed money, pilot funding, or total funding for research with promising contributions to home care nursing. For more information and the application, Announcement from the Research Committee and Board of DirectorsCongratulations! 2024 Marilyn D. Harris Home Care Nursing Research Grant Award Aim of Study: Our study aims to utilize the latest generation of Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, specifically large language models (LLMs), to efficiently extract pertinent infection risk factors from clinical notes, guided by the Omaha Nursing Problem System. We expect to produce a comprehensive structured vocabulary list of Omaha nursing terms. This improved list will enhance the organized electronic health record (EHR) data. As a result, it will provide a better chance of developing a more accurate infection risk model specifically for home health care (HHC), finally strengthening the support for nurses working in home health care and improve the quality of patient care. Primary Investigator: I am Zidu (Miranda) Xu, a second-year nursing PhD student at Columbia University. Currently, I am co-advised by Dr Maxim Topaz and Dr Jingjing Shang. Before pursuing my PhD, I obtained a Master of Medicine, majoring in Medical Informatics, and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. My research focuses on the intersection of home healthcare and cutting-edge data science applications.
