Yet Another Question

Is it correct for them to ask me to go back 3 months and do a RoC on a patient that was transferred to hospice and died ? If so would you put it on your time sheet as a visit so you get paid. I was a newbie at the time and did not know a RoC was needed.

Thanks!

    If you are the responsible nurse, yes, do it. I don't know about putting it on a timesheet or not, that draws attention to the three month time lag, and the employer may balk at this for more than one reason. Just do it so that they can complete the record and you don't have a black mark hanging over your head.

    A ROC is a resumption of care, so when did you resume the care? If the patient was transferred to hospice and died, there was no resumption of home health care.

    Thanks for responses. I had been out on road maybe a week after about nine days orientation. The paper work was insane and I have not work HH before. I am getting a better handle on it now. I am confused with HH though because patient care is not emphasized as much as the paper work. I filled it out but it feels like a lie to me to go back and chart especially when the patient is dead now.

    Thanks Again

    if the patient was transferred to hospice you only needed to do a discharge oasis,,,a roc is after an inpatient stay of more than 23 hrs.

    I agree with berube. You only do a ROC when you are "resuming" their care after an inpatient admit over 23 hours. If they went to hospice, then you are not going to be resuming and GOING BACK INTO THE HOME. It sounds like your patient needs to be discharged.
