HB2088 allows nurses providing home health services to four or fewer patients to qualify for licensure without hiring staff or maintaining an office.
HB2088 amends Tennessee Code to allow nurses providing home health services to four or fewer patients to qualify for licensure as a home care organization without hiring staff or maintaining an office. Instead, these nurses must request space from the Department of Health to securely store patient records, which the department must provide. The bill defines "nurse" as a licensed registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or certified nursing assistant. The Department of Health is authorized to create rules to implement this section, following the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act.
