Direct patient care refers to hands-on clinical activities performed by healthcare workers directly with patients, including taking vital signs, administering medication, assisting with hygiene, and monitoring symptoms. It is a core responsibility of nurses, physicians, nursing assistants, and home health aides. The term distinguishes bedside or in-person clinical work from administrative or indirect care duties like charting or supply management.
