Discussion: 2008 Home Care National Patient Safety Goals

2008 Home Care National Patient Safety Goals

What is your agency focusing on this year?

My employer purchased coagulation check machines and implementing them, especially in branches with high joint replacement and cardiac patients.

My intake staff focusing on improving communication across continuum of care and attempting to get med lists from facilities/doctors. I am so glad we have electronic medical record--IF INFO ENTERED, available at the click of a button to print and fax to doctors, insurance companies, etc.
