1. What Is “Required”?
There are many real rules in home health, but there are also some that are not actually based on regulations. In order to create defensible documentation, clinicians need clarity around expectations. This chapter will explain the requirements surrounding both objective and assessment information.
2. What Is in the Toolbox?
A good mechanic needs more than one tool to complete the job, yet many clinicians include little or no objective information in their documentation to support skilled care and measure the impact over time. This chapter will examine objective measures that can be used by a variety of disciplines to expand the content of the toolbox.
3. Analyzing Findings
Collecting subjective information and reporting objective measurements are important components of defensible documentation but in and of themselves do not clearly support skilled care. It takes discipline-specific expertise to interpret findings and connect them to the need for intervention. This chapter will provide strategies for documenting clinical decision-making that takes skilled need to the next level.
