Why MyHealthForm.com Is Designed for Nurse Registries — Not Agencies
Understanding the difference between a nurse registry and a licensed home health agency is critical when it comes to regulatory compliance. While both operate in the in-home care space, they are governed by different statutes, rules, and expectations.
MyHealthForm.com was intentionally developed to meet the requirements that apply to Florida nurse registries—and just as intentionally not positioned for use by licensed home health agencies. This distinction is deliberate, compliant, and essential.
The Regulatory Framework for Nurse Registries
Florida nurse registries operate under a referral model. They do not employ caregivers, provide clinical care, or supervise services. Instead, they refer independent contractors to clients.
Under Florida law, nurse registries must ensure that each referred independent contractor provides documentation showing they are free from communicable disease prior to client contact.
Importantly, the governing rule allows flexibility in how that determination is made. The current regulation requires a statement from an authorized health professional dated within the last six months but does not require a physical examination.
This regulatory structure allows for:
Screening-based determinations
RN review conducted under a physician-established protocol
Reliance on standardized screening tools rather than employer-driven medical exams
MyHealthForm.com was built to align precisely with this framework.
How MyHealthForm.com Meets Nurse Registry Requirements
MyHealthForm.com provides a structured, documented process that fits squarely within nurse registry regulations:
Caregivers complete a standardized communicable disease screening questionnaire
The screening tool is based on established public-health models
An RN reviews the completed screening while acting pursuant to a physician-signed protocol
A health statement is issued that meets statutory language requirements
This process supports registries in meeting documentation obligations without performing clinical exams, supervising caregivers, or assuming agency-like responsibilities.
Just as importantly, it preserves the independent-contractor nature of the caregiver relationship.
Why the Same Process Does Not Apply to Home Health Agencies
Licensed home health agencies operate under a fundamentally different regulatory structure.
Agencies:
Employ or directly engage staff
Are responsible for personnel health, supervision, and ongoing fitness for duty
Are required to ensure employees are in “reasonably good health” based on examination standards
Agency regulations explicitly reference health assessments tied to employment and ongoing oversight. A screening-based, self-reported model—appropriate for registries—is not sufficient for agency compliance.
Using a registry-style screening platform in an agency setting would create:
Regulatory noncompliance
Misalignment with employment-based health requirements
Increased licensure and survey risk
For this reason, MyHealthForm.com is not marketed to, sold to, or represented as compliant for licensed home health agencies.
A Deliberate Compliance Boundary
MyHealthForm.com was created to solve a specific problem within a specific regulatory lane: helping nurse registries meet communicable disease documentation requirements without drifting into agency functions.
This clear boundary:
Protects registries from licensure creep
Avoids blurring referral and employment models
Reduces regulatory exposure during AHCA surveys
Keeps the platform aligned with statute and rule
Attempting to make one tool fit both registries and agencies would compromise compliance for both.
Bottom Line
MyHealthForm.com is compliant because it is limited in scope.
It works for nurse registries precisely because it respects the referral model, independent contractor framework, and regulatory language governing registries. It is not positioned for agencies because agencies are subject to different, stricter personnel health requirements.
In compliance, clarity matters. MyHealthForm.com was built with that principle at the center.
