I got my vaccination 12/26 0830 and worked all weekend - no problems.

Staff was informed this week the SOC oasis needs be completed within 24 hours of admit. This is due to Medicare's new rap rule which penalizes the agency if the rap is not submitted with 5 calendar days. I see 6-9 patients daily and complete the revisits and recert documentation in the home. The admission oasis is too long and tedious to complete in the home so we are expected to complete it when we get home in the evening. That could take 2 or more hours on complex cases and I am exhausted. There was no mention of any pay merit. I am ready to throw in the towel with home health. Any thoughts?

My agency just rolled out the new COP - medicare conditions of participation- documentation. It is a nightmare. Plan on spending 2 hours just charting on a new admit after hours. We already met with another software vendor but it was no better. Even a revisit note is tedious- half of note will no longer preload as medicare will not accept cookie cutter notes any longer. Charting in the home is going to be a thing of the past. I used to be able to do the visit and have documentation done before I left. Anyone else having same experience?
