Hey fellow home health nurses: I have a question regarding non visit d/c. I case manage a LPN who will frequently see a patient 2 or 3 times before I do. On occassions the patient is ready to be d/c for goals met, referred to out patient therapy, non complaince, ect ect. I have been asked to do a Non visit d/c on a patient, however, I feel uncomfortable and honestly not sure if legally I can functional questions (from the OASIS) if I never have seen a patient. Do you do non visit d/c on patients you've never seen before?? Thanks for your input.
