1. Individualized Care Planning
Electronic documentation tools have positive impacts on home health documentation, but the convenience of choosing from standardized lists has led to care plans that lack patient specifics. Surveyors have been citing agencies for this issue, as well as the lack of documentation that the care plan is being completed as written. This chapter will reframe the concepts of care planning by going back to fundamental requirements.
2. Measurable and Meaningful Goals
Creating goals is a golden opportunity to highlight the individualized focus of the plan of care. Selecting goals from standardized lists or choosing goals because they are "supposed to" be on the plan has negatively impacted the ability of goal statements to meet true compliance expectations. This chapter will examine a template that clinicians can use to evaluate how goals are being written and provide examples that reflect the concepts of measurable and meaningful.
3. Interdisciplinary Care Examples
Interdisciplinary care planning is more than sitting in a meeting and having clinicians report the focus of each individual service. Creating a common focus can make the documentation of care planning and, ultimately, care delivery better align with efforts to reduce rehospitalizations. This chapter will provide examples of interdisciplinary care for diagnoses commonly seen in home health.
