Director /Clinical Manager / DCO Top 5 Reasons why your office must master Care Plan Appropriateness: #5. Because you can! Finally, no more chasing paper, Bayada Boulevard, open paperwork in RN s trunk. #4. Because CPR is really the Holy Grail for HH, we ve been trying to get here since the dawn of home health. #3. Because once successful, less mismatched episodes will come in from the field and require action. #2. Because success is very unlikely if you don t do this process consistently well. #1. Because Bill Dombi pretty much said we better. Page 16
Director /Clinical Manager / DCO Key Concepts of the Process: The CPR process will be an exercise in futility if LEARNING doesn t occur; DCOs impart knowledge to CMs, and CMs impart the same concepts to field case managers and the rest of the clinical team. In a perfect world, this process would occur primarily in the field. In many cases, the CSM is in a great position to help e.g. scheduling, missed visits, days between Evaluation and visit #2. Page 17
Director /Clinical Manager / DCO Tools from CM Training Day: Language for Clinical Managers to use with clinicians once there is a mismatch: What do we hope to accomplish; big picture view from field case manager to Clinical Manager. Is there another way to get there; is there a more efficient manner to reach the desired outcome. Wow! This is looking like a 2 cert period client- what do you think; forces clinicians to think. What would you do if this were a managed care patient; clinician driven ways to do more with less. Do you think the team can meet the client goals with this intensity; forces big picture review of POC. Page 18
Director /Clinical Manager / DCO Take Home Points Day after White Shoes prepared your CMs to have these conversations; we promised them support from their Directors and Division Directors. Care Plan Review Dashboard shows all visits out there; make sure field staff plot only what they believe the client will need so that the actual plan can be evaluated for appropriateness. At hire, we recommend bringing up this concept with all potential field staff hires: At Bayada, client care is determined in a collaborative manner, meaning that field clinicians of all disciplines collectively determine the best overall plan of care and ultimately utilize the Clinical Manager (often a nurse) to concur with the plan How do you feel about vetting your discipline s plan of care through the team and the Clinical Manager?
