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
