I have been working in home health for about a year and a half now. I'm sure I have the same loves and the same frustrations of almost every other home health nurse. I have been searching topics on this site for a while now and still cannot find the answer to my question, so I figured I should just post it. My boss continually shortens the amount of time that all charting is "due" and blames it on Medicare Guidelines changing. No matter if we see 10 a week or 40 a week, he/she expects everything done on the same timeline. I have spoken with a colleague in a different agency who says no changes have been made and the only guideline out there is for 30 days. What I would really like is to know exactly where I can find guidelines pertaining to charting and when it is "due" so I can see if I'm justified in my frustration or not. I would ask my boss, but I suspect my question would not be met with much delight in answering it. I find it funny that an occupation, so focused on paperwork, makes it very hard to find guidelines on completing said paperwork. Thanks for any help.
