This article describes the unique contributions the Center of Clinical Excellence and Professional Development, an acute care–based organization, has made to the state home care organization to improve patient outcomes across the continuum of care. Although highly skilled in specialty areas, the clinical nurse specialists in the center have applied and transferred their acute care knowledge and expertise to the home care environment. The authors were doing this to ready the home care agencies for providing care to the most challenging of home care patients in a new payment system. Since 1999, six educational programs have been provided for staff. Many home care visits have been made with the home care nurse. This relationship has been a positive one for the center staff, for home care staff, and especially for patients.
