9 INTRODUC TION Introduction No matter what changes in homecare, there will always be the need to validate clinician competencies. It is not sufficient to send clinicians into the field assuming they are proficient, simply based on their licensure. Procedures and treatments are forever changing due to evidence-based practices. It is up to agencies to verify that clinicians remain current and proficient in their skills. Due to home health regulations from both federal and state governing bodies, it is imperative for agencies to be able to produce documentation that demonstrates competencies of clinicians in their job duties. This also helps to protect both the agency and clinicians in today s age of increasing litigation. For clinicians, signing a document verifying their competency gives them ownership of the responsibilities associated with the competency. It gives the agency tools to identify clinician deficiencies early during the orientation process, saving time and resources. Home health is evolving into a more complicated level of care. Without the availability of immediate support, as found in the hospital setting, clinicians must function at a higher level of independence and skill. It is up to the management staff and specialists within the agency to ensure that clinicians can perform at this higher level. Standard, written competencies serve as an effective way to document and validate this level of performance. The competencies listed within the nursing sections of this book can be used for both registered nurses and licensed practical nurses based on the allowances of the state in which they practice and the specific policies within the homecare agency. The competencies have been set up in a generic fashion, with each constructed in a way that can accommodate variances in policies or protocol between agencies. This also allows for changes within policies or protocols without having to revise the competencies. The competencies have been organized by the body system they affect or the function they are related to. It is a comprehensive list of competencies, covering everything from the orientation process to the basic visit to the skills performed by nursing staff. The competencies can also be used as a guide for the development of agency policies and for the employee orientation process. ix
