  1. Question about R.O.C.

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to nurseratchit7's topic in Home Health

    By ROC, do you mean resumption of care, after the patient has been in the hospital? A recert/follow-up is what you do at the end of the 60 day certification period. Two different forms/packets Not...

  2. Home health assessments

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    Is all of the above what you would cover for revisits or just

  3. Is this a good deal?

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to tachynut's topic in Home Health

    I work at two agencies. Both have overnight call and weekend call in addition to regular hours. One agency is slower and nurses may not get weeknight calls. The other is quite busy and they do get...

  5. What would you suggest to your preceptor if..

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    also, thinking way back to nursing school, I remember being so absurdly stressed in clinicals, fearing the dreaded "clinical warning". That anxiety sat with me for a while, even after graduation....

  6. What would you suggest to your preceptor if..

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    criticism said in a mentoring, supportive manner/tone is more effective to me, than sarcasm, barbed criticism, and passive-aggressive statements. Just my own experience speaking here (sigh) -- Based...

  7. Granualized vs epithelialized vs not healing?

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to nurse2b013's topic in Home Health

    surgical wounds healing by primary intention can only be "newly epithialized" or "not

  8. medicaid visits

    PurpleDaisy🌸 posted a topic in Home Health

    Most of the patients I see are medicare patients, and after several months in HH, I have a pretty good handle on what is involved with these patients. I am however, still trying to work out the...

  9. New job updates?

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to Libby1987's topic in Home Health

    I have to second this statement. Libby1987 has so much encouragement, here on the home health board. I am guessing she is a wonderful mentor, in her agency. I hit a wall a few weeks ago, after...

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    It is rather interesting that medicaid coverage varies so greatly state to state. This is the link I found last night: Massachusetts Medicaid

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    do you find that your visits and notes look different than those that you do for medicare

  12. medicaid visits

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    that the payer would be switched to medicare, vs the payer being medicaid. I actually did find something on the medicaid website. I will link to it later, when I am on a

  13. medicaid visits

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    I don't mean that they would no longer have medicare coverage. I just meant that if a Pt is chronic/stable, there is no need for sn services, so medicare would not pay for sn services. As for the...

  14. medicaid visits

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    I have read all your comments, and still trying to wrap my head around this medicaid/medicare difference. Our medicaid patients are chronic and stable. Is that the case for all of you? @libby1987,...

  15. What is the latest a note can be submitted?

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to CaringInColton's topic in Home Health

    That is impressive... And would be my preference, if my opinion mattered. One of my jobs requires visits complete prior to pay cycle ending (not closed = not paid). Not sure their timeframe on...

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to cat1235's topic in Private Duty

    Also, I agree that OP may prefer intermittent visits. That is what I am doing now, and I love it! The flexibility is perfect for my family situation, I am learning unbelievable amounts (nursing AND...

  17. a new grad (sorta) opinion of HH.

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to cat1235's topic in Private Duty

    @libby1987: At my agency, what you are calling "private duty" is called home health high tech, bc it is paid for by medicaid. Private duty is self pay, and we do not provide that service. At least,...

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to PurpleDaisy🌸's topic in Home Health

    I am being told specifically to chart LESS and NOT to chart teaching (medicaid visits only though, not for medicare visits). That is why I am so

  19. Documentation, Time Management, Help!!!

    PurpleDaisy🌸 replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Home Health

    How many patients do you see in a day? Does the number go down when you do an admission? Do you paper or computer chart? I have both home care and hospice experience, at different agencies. I am...
