I figured I'd start a new thread incase others have this question also.
With the implementation of PDPM we've gone from medicare notes once per day, alternating between shifts to notes q shift.
I'm really running out of things to say about these folks besides the exact same thing I wrote the day before or the shift before me wrote. There are only so many ways you can document lung sounds clear, Sp02 96% on 2l/NC. Participates with therapy. Or is that enough? Seems pretty redundant.
How does your facility do it? Its pretty excessive, at this point. I think I have like 14 skilled notes every day. I usually take pride in my narrative notes, with attention to detail for the reasons that warrant skilled care but sometimes I feel like a parrot.
