What the home health and hospice nurse checks

  • Visit frequency against the plan of care
  • Patient and caregiver teaching
  • Medication reconciliation
  • Escalation and coordination with physicians

What the review examines

  • MDS assessments, care plans and whether the plan was followed
  • Weights, intake and output, and dietitian involvement (F692)
  • Change-of-condition recognition and reporting to the physician and family
  • Activities of daily living documentation and its consistency
  • Infection prevention and timely treatment
  • Staffing levels on the shifts in question
  • Survey and complaint history for the facility

Proposals come from license-verified home health and hospice nurses, with their fee and turnaround.
