1 Background The Pediatric Private Duty Nursing Qualification Assessment tool is designed to accurately determine a client s need for private duty nursing hours, while considering all conditions which require the intervention of a skilled nurse. The assessment should be completed by a nurse with extensive pediatric experience. Using this tool does not preclude the need to complete a full assessment of the client s health and environment using an instrument such as OASIS. This tool is intended for pediatric patients (0 18 years) who live at home, presuming capable parental/responsible party involvement. Section 1 Complete the form for any of the following events (check all that apply): New discharge from hospital Change from one PDN agency to another Annual assessment Significant change in client condition (improvement or decline examples: vent, IV, med regimen) New diagnosis Recertification/Other Assessment performed by (print) Date Signature and Licensure Client information Name DOB Address Phone Responsible party Insurance carrier and ID Primary diagnosis/onset date Secondary diagnosis/onset date Secondary diagnosis/onset date History Section 2 Exemption criteria: Trach and 24/7 ventilation, new discharge to home. Does client meet these criteria? Yes Client qualifies for 24/7 PDN for 2 months. Use qualification tool again at the end of this period to re assess authorization. No Complete Sections 3 and 4 Approved Page 1 of 6

Using the table below, select the row for the primary diagnosis chosen in (a). Then choose the column which best describes the client. Condition Definitions Respiratory Vent dependent 24 Vent dependent 23 Vent dependent less Ventilation is defined as CPAP, Bi level, and ventilator application to Vent hours/day 12 hours/day than 11 hours/day tracheostomy. Non invasive (nasal or mask) CPAP or Bi level is considered ventilation if it is life sustaining for conditions such as central hypoventilation syndrome, SMA, MD, and spina bifida. Exclusions include CPAP and Bi level to mouth for obstructive sleep apnea and other conditions that are not life threatening. Condition Skilled visits Definitions Respiratory Stable trach and medically stable Other Respiratory assessment and monitoring for aspiration, resp distress, choking, recurring infection Stable trach with medically unstable conditions Respiratory assessment and monitoring for recurring resp infection Recurring hospitalizations for asthma exacerbation Updated Page 2 of 6

3 Condition 40 Skilled visits Definitions Cardiac Unstable cardiac condition Life threatening episodes Stable condition Monitoring of medications and med documented within the last 180 days. administration Condition Definitions Neurology Daily seizures requiring skilled intervention and Other Neuro spasms, complex meds Requires skilled assessment and intervention. complex medications determined via assessment Includes medication intervention. Seizures that are controlled or that only require observation do not score points. Condition Skilled visits Definitions Vascular/IV Continuous TPN or life sustaining Daily TPN or life sustaining meds Weekly or bi weekly TPN, lipids, meds antibiotics or other meds.

These additional points are intended for family education purposes. 5 Unplanned admission due to acute medical episode related to primary diagnosis in section Decannulation survival generally depends on a tracheal condition where the trachea would collapse without the trach tube in place such as tracheal malacia. 5 Non trached clients with unstable airway generally have a neuro/muscular primary condition that would cause airway to collapse without proper positioning and intervention such as SMA or MD. Updated Page 4 of 6
