Documentation Makes the Difference!

Description

Skilled need for medically necessary care is one of the eligibility criteria for home health services – and the patient must meet this requirement every visit! Documentation for skilled need applies to the comprehensive assessment, therapy evaluation, and each visit note, as well as supporting documentation in the case conference, interim physician orders and summaries.

This session will review the requirements at each of these points and provide examples (both good and bad!) of documentation for skilled medically necessary care. Discussion will include how to educate and motivate staff to improve their documentation skills.

       

Target Audience

• Field clinicians, Clinical Managers, QA reviewers and educators for home health agencies.
