- high- risk, under served clients and all other clients requiring home health care: The clients are stakeholders because if this bill is passed it will increase the amount of homehealth nurses to provide for those at risk. It will decrease the cost of the services for underserved clients because there will be more home health nurses available. It will also decrease hospital stay, if clients were able to be treated inside their home.
- home health agencies (VNAA) : Home Health agencies will be affected because this act will promote an increase in the nurse-client ratio allowing more clients to be seen on a regular basis. It will also increase the retention rate of their staff.
- new graduate RNs and current RNs: It will provide more opportunities for employment for new grads and current grad RNs. The bill will also allow RNs to change their specialty if they are currently seeking new interests in the healthcare field.
- nursing schools and their educators: The curriculum in nursing schools will change if the bill is passed. There will be more focus on education concerning home health. The educators will have to update themselves on the knowledge of home health in order to meet the nursing school's standards.
- legislators: Legislators are a stakeholder because they are the key component in helping to support the bill. They speak on the issue of Home Health to promote the government to pass the bill. We want to invite Virginia legislators to support the bill and to increase the awareness of the importance of Home Health.
- government insurance (Medicare): We believe that Medicare is an important stakeholder because it will affect a change in their budget if the bill is passed. The government may have to provide more financial support to those on Medicare to receive Home Health services.
According to the missions and goals of this bill, we feel that all of these stakeholders will be affected in some way due to the passing of the Home Healthcare Act and the implementation of change.
