I recently accepted a position as a Home Health Nurse. I will start this Monday. Wow so much information. I am glad I found this forum and such dedicated nurses that can share some of it with me. Thanks.

CMS has new Home Health Agency Center: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/center/hha.asp

Go to CMS Internet-only Manuals , then to 100-07 State Operations, click on appendices then Home Health Agencies to open PDF file to see what surveyers are looking for re documenation/poliy standards.

I am new to Home Health nursing. Thanks for this info!
I am having a hard time with the OASIS forms.

Does anyone know of a good book I can buy that will help me with Home Health Nursing assessment and documentation?

Thanks!
