<Background> In the past 20 years, profit-making corporations have entered the home-visit nursing business, but many small-scale home-visit nursing stations have been closed or suspended. Therefore, we considered the competitive strategy of them.
<Methods> Questionnaire surveys were filled out by care managers in Japan. The date was analyzed with SPSS ver. 27 for Mac and KH Coder3.Bate.03.
<Results> Forty-four care managers answered the questionnaire (response ratio: 27.0%). The conditions that the care managers requested for a small-scale home-visit nursing station were " Professional skills and Experience," "Ease to collaboration," "Ease to contact," and "Emergency Response."
<Conclusions> Home-visit nurses in small-scale home-visit nursing stations need identify their strengths based on their professional skills and experience, and differentiate themselves from the others. Moreover, they need to build relationships with care managers through smooth collaboration and contact. In addition, it is important to build a system for emergency response.
