Reassessment must include summary of care, functional reassessment, and progress patient has made toward 60day Medicare episode. 11 Assessment is clinical judgment that examines objective data 1. Gait: Must describe qualitywhat deficits you are seeing and why you are indispensible for that gait analysis 2. Tasks: Tasks should be individualized: Do not put IADLS and ADLs; what are each of them specifically? 3. Oral Motor: What does 6580% improved mean to the patient’s function? Movement away from quantity and move toward quality of functional tasks that are meaningful to patient in their home. (more free text) Overall: In every visit, from first one to last, determine each time “why” the patient is being seen. If that question does not have a clear answer, the plan of care needs to be reassessed. 12 Policy is in review and will be available online soon. You will be notified when available. MEDX manual available today for all therapists. Key components of policy: ◦ Therapist must complete competency on this modality prior to using. ◦ Order must include settings for duration, Joules, pulsing, and console setting. ◦ Cleaning log is required each Monday. MEDX cleaning log available online –See Intranet. 13 MUST put into 485 careplan. Example: Intervention: PT to assess patient’s pain and use MedEx to decrease patient’s pain while improving household mobility. Goal: LTG: Patient to ambulate modified independently 150’ out to car using walker and pain <3/10 in R knee. The Cleaning Logs: MedX cleaning logs must be cleaned after each patient use. MedX cleaning logs must be emailed of faxed to Mike Kerry every Monday and even if you DID NOT use, must write “not used for week of ‘x’” and turn that sheet in every Monday. [email protected] Mike Kerry has Operating Guide and Treatment Manual in his office in Supplies. Must put protocol that is in the 485 under the “exercise” tab. 14 An Estimated 3Million People in the US oral anticoagulant therapy annually. Anticoagulation Therapy is delivered as Short Term (6 weeks or less) or Long Term ( frequently an indefinite timeline.) 15 Adverse Events Related to inadequate or excessive coagulation include: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ CVA PE DVT VTE Hemorrhage GI Bleed 16 The following Risk Factors may pre-dispose a patient for bleeding and should necessitate additional monitoring while on OAT. ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Age 65 or older History of CVA History of GI Bleed Recent MI HCT <30% Creatinine over 1.5mg/dL Diabetes Mellitus 17 Other Factors that may influence the therapeutic window include: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Other medications Concurrent medication changes Renal function Body Weight Age Dietary Habits Alcohol Consumption Smoking Habits Temperature Changes 18 Generally Accepted TARGET INR based on DX.

Due to the importance of this therapeutic window, NGHHC requires strict adherence to this policy surrounding use of the INRatio devise. NGHHC requires that PT/INR that are completed with the INRatio machine have laboratory validation if: The results are greater than 4.5 The results are less than 1.5 22 The Role of the Clinician… ◦ Review SOC Call log from Intake. F2F information will be found in this call log. ◦ If a F2F appointment is needed – work with your patient to schedule. ◦ Communicate to your CC when the appointment is scheduled. ◦ Patient’s must understand without this appointment and documentation of the appointment ~ Medicare services will end. 23 CPR that is approved by the American Heart Association/ American Red Cross is required by 3/31/2011. See Melinda Jewell if you want to sign up for a session at NGHHC. Case Conferences Due every 30 days. Discharge Planning should be in every SOC narrative and at least weekly in your note. Equipment Cleaning Logs ( MEDX. PT/INR) due every Monday. 24 All Skilled Staff Thursday, May 19th Pre-work on Nightingale University will be required prior to attending. Skills “check off” will be scheduled individually Beginning May 02nd. 25
