   careforevery1 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Home Health

3. Falsification of records?

   careforevery1 replied to Super Nurse JoshuA's topic in Home Health

   At our agency we call this a non-visit discharge, the oasis form is a little different. I would make sure that you document the fact that no actual visit was made for the discharge and that your info is based on the last visit, if you don't have acce...

   careforevery1 replied to Putu2Sleep's topic in South Carolina

   Hello, I live in Summerville, a town about 20 minutes outside Charleston. I guess house's range from 150's and up. Of course living in the downtown area is very expensive. I was able to afford a place right out of college so I do not believe you will...

8. What Would you Do!!!

   careforevery1 replied to athomemom56's topic in Home Health

   I agree with you I would call 911. I find it frustrating sometimes to be in a home with a pt that is not doing well and having to call 911. In the hospital I could do something. Don't get me wrong I find home health rewarding but I do have times when...

10. What Would you Do!!!

    careforevery1 replied to athomemom56's topic in Home Health

    If the patient was symptomatic and the bp was below the parameter don't we have to do something besides just monitor? I also believe you have to know the patient's history but you also have to react when there is something wrong. I also have low bp a...

11. What Would you Do!!!

    careforevery1 replied to athomemom56's topic in Home Health

    I beleive that if the pt was symptomatic I would call EMS and have the pt transported to the ER. I think you have to go with your instinct. I had a similar situation and the provider told me that due to the pt's severe pvd that I was probably incorre...
