Question about R.O.C.

Published

I am trying out home health, is a mom-pop company, not run by nurses. Really no one to ask.

The forms are a bit confusing.

Was asked to do an ROC.

I have a stack of blank forms...

Do I fill out the Recertification Follow-up Assessment (17 pages) AND Comprehensive Adult Nursing Assessment (20 pages) for a Resumption of Care?

Thanks in advance~

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 sure what the other packet is that you are referring to.

For a ROC (resumption of care after hospital dc during a 60 day episode), we do a new SOC/ROC OASIS form --same form for both events.

In addition, we have a Resumption of Care Orders sheet that you put in the hospitalization info, dates of admission, dc, diagnosis, and then spaces to note any changes in the skilled nursing orders, teaching and new goals.

We also do new med profiles, noting any changes in meds, dosages, frequency.

Less paperwork than SOC, but still quite a bit.
