Accreditation Check:

Given the complexity of a home health assessment, where should the therapist start? Although the integration of electronic systems into home health have expanded the options for therapy documentation, the fundamental areas of the SOAP note continue to be the key elements for supporting medical necessity. This course will get "back to the basics" while moving practice forward by providing a structure for the S - subjective and O - objective components.

1. Model of Care Delivery and OASIS Impact on the Therapy Assessment

Value based purchasing and outcome measurements need to be integrated into the therapy assessment and care planning process. Understanding external expectations brings a larger focus to the traditional areas covered by therapy services in the home.

2. Gathering Meaningful Subjective Information

Limited to absent documentation related to subjective information has led some software systems to drop that area from therapy documentation all together. Patient and caregiver provided details are critical to showing individualized care planning and response to interventions.

3. Selecting Tests and Measures Part 1

Choosing a formal test and measure as part of a home health assessment requires a clear understanding of the options available as well as how to administer them correctly.

4. Selecting Tests and Measures Part 2

No one would want to have the person hired to build a dream home arrive with a toolbox only containing a single hammer. Therapists need to have a wide range of tools available in order to be best prepared for the job of the assessment and care planning.
