Summary:

Effective documentation demonstrates that care was coordinated between team members involved in the plan of care, it supports the payment the agency receives for providing home health services to the patient, and it serves as legal proof that a visit was made. Poor documentation can result in costly survey citations and lost revenue for the agency. It can also lead to medical errors that can be life-threatening to patients and career-ending for clinicians. This lesson focuses on requirements and guidelines for accurate and complete electronic and handwritten home health aide documentation.LESSON OBJECTIVESAfter completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to:Identify five documentation flaws that could lead to legal or survey issuesDistinguish between objective and subjective documentationDescribe how to correct a documentation error in the medical recordContents of this lesson:A clearly written fact sheetA 10-question post-test to measure understanding of the subject matterAn answer sheet with a place for the instructor's comments and signatureAn illustrative, homecare-specific case studySuggested supplemental learning activitiesAn attendance log and certificate of completion
