Organizing time, charting, not missing something???

I am a new HH case manager for about three weeks now. I have been following another RN in the field for about a week. While this time has only been "skills, wound care...." for me. No charting. From what I have learned the first couple of weeks with Oasis and other charting and scheduling, I fear that I will never be able to case manage, organize, schedule, chart and so on with out getting overwhelmed and lost. I know I am new and that is human nature to have concerns, but I want to now from those with experience how do you do it??

Do you have a check list, reminders everywhere?? Will it just come to me after I am on my own. I have three months of orientation which is awesome. My agency is part of the major hospital in my area so things are a lot different from other agencies I have been reading about on this site.

I just feel that there has to be some way to put it all together (scheduling, oasis, calling physicians, labs oh my. I was spoiled in the hospital with unit clerks, and the lab coming to do blood draws, and the doctors on the unit! I'm scared people, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Anyone :(

Look at the tread "Can you have a life in HH."

Wow 3 months of Orientation is awesome and very very rare. Good for you. Depends on your company and what your responsibilities are. Some field CM only do REC/ROC/SOC/DC's and audits a certain number of case load. There are also CM that work strictly in the office and audit charts/liason btn MDs/pts/other disciplines. And there are also field CM that have a weekly case load of 29-34points and are in charge of those cases. Hopefully you have a good DON/ADON and office staff that are willing to help you when you are overloaded. This biz can burn you out really fast if you don't pace yourself. But after a bit you will find your rhythm and love it.
