PPS

PPS has caused every Home Health Agency in our area to close. Talk about IMPACT !!!

------------------

Dear Candyvna, PPS has made home care nursing so oppressive and unfufilling that many of my co-workers have left, we are tired of filling out hundreds of duplicated forms, OASIS, Resumptions, discharges, Recerts, all which are way to subjective to give the bean counters in Washington any clue as to the outcomes results, to which they are basing payment. Not to mention being paid per visit doesn't add up when you are doing hours and hours of unpaid paperwork, There has to be a better option than this, any one out there has ideas, pass them along. Thanks NN
