Kabin, I would love to know the name of the undesirable software, if your willing to share.

Thank you for taking the time to give me some feedback. I currently work with HH software and when training a new site there is a ton of excitement or the staff is dreading it. I have found that after a short time the agencies working on the tablet seems to agree that is makes things easier.

How exciting... My only suggestion is to check with all the local agencies, Medicaid, Family Services ect. because I know that those agencies sometime provide the services. Maybe you could be a provider? Good luck and much happiness!

It's refreshing to learn that anyone would like to enter the Nursing Profession. I would advise against it in your case for one big reason, by the time you complete you education even on the fastest track your age will be against you. Nursing is not viewed as a very physical job, but it is! I've been a Nurse for 30 years and started to make roads outward at 49 years old. My suggestion is to check into legal services that are healthcare related. Some of the older folks have a great deal of trouble managing their medical bills and understanding the legal aspect of their paperwork. Just a thought to consider. Good Luck!

Oh, I have a caption... Do you want the "Whiner" in 233 or the "Psycho" in 234... Just kidding they're both yours!

Crazy and Cute RN has it right! Not only am I a nurse but I have been a patient. The only time you can rest is at night because the day is so busy with tests and constant interruptions. There is something else that is forgotten... it's the roommate that is on the phone all night or the TV is loud till 3 AM. There is a lack of common courtesy so I would think the Nurse could point it out with a no non-sense tone. I see nothing wrong with walking up to the TV at after hours and turning it off because the roommate is asleep... If anything is said my reply is "your roommate is asleep, sorry". In closing I would say be aware of the noise and your patients need for rest and be assertive with anyone who needs a reminder that there are others on the planet. Nurses need to stop trying to please everyone... and just do what's right.

Just want to get some feed back from nurses who are using labtops or tablets with HH software to enter the HH visit information in to an Electronic patient record. I'm wonder if it's comprehensive, faster and increased the coord. of care? Does the software add to the accuracy? When you enter the information as a Case Manager is it easier to keep track of frequencies, goals and the problems and interventions. I would be interested in know how others feel about the use of Home Health Care Software. I welcome any comments.

I'm just wondering if anyone is doing the Home Health paperwork on a PC or tablet using HH designed software? If so how is that working for you?
