hopping on this video 2 years late but I just wanted to share a tip! I have CarPlay in my car (similar to bluetooth). when i’m driving I will draft a note in my phone via handsfree bluetooth/ siri. So my narrative notes can be done while i’m driving seeing patients, and when I get home I copy and paste the narrative note in my charting!
The Google voice recommendation is gold! Thank you for this helpful video. I am new to home health care as an RN, so your thoughts and input is very helpful.
Hello there, I am a new grad RN, starting hospice HH in a week. Thank you for this vid, gave me some mental preparedness what to expect and questions to ask when I’m in training!
I just wanted to say thank you for this video.. are you still in the business? I've been doing hospice for almost 2 years now with a little home care also in there. We use HCHB, it's been a ton to learn how to use. Charting has gotten quicker..BUT is is still a lot! We have an on call number..BUT YES...these patients do call is all hours of the night. I give out my personal phone number. You sound like an amazing nurse!!!
Thank you for sharing. Lots of good tips. I'm homecare nurse for a long time and I'm a traveler. I use a tablet, I have limited clipboard space to save education documentation. I can't figure out how to save education to use in teaching documentation.
@@EverythingHomeHealth I am definitely considering a move to HH, but I am clueless. I have an interview this Thursday. Hopefully I will learn more soon!
@@noelmansfield8505 Best of luck! It can be a great area to get into, as long as you're informed and aware ahead of time of what HH entails. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I need to make more videos... lol.
This was extremely helpful, thank you! I have a few follow-up questions. Is there a way to get in touch with you about specific home health charting questions?
You may or may not find this useful, but here's the link to my google docs charting guide: docs.google.com/document/d/1awNGXZ6N-QedgxdhC1HmsODVSHNTj7zeZp6gaSjoihA/copy
about 6 weeks into HH and the charting sux! Its slowly getting better, but still a start of care takes at least an hour theres so many boxes and looking at their chart for S=DX's, Vaccines etc.etc.Luckily with Kinser/Oasis charting teaching templates populate re: to DX's of that pt. you just might have to add a few particular things and off you go...Thanks for the info!
@@Ktrvrn You are so right! lol. I actually hired a driver to drive me around for about a year. I did charting in between patients and had the driver park a block away or so (hippa reasons). Ate too much of my profits though. I started off LTC, so I know the feeling.
I would not recommend it. Only because I often find myself in situations where I'm forced to be resourceful and creative. If it weren't for my prior nursing experiences I honestly don't know how I (or my patient) would have made it safely through. If you have previous CNA experience, then possibly.
@@EverythingHomeHealth thank you so much for responding.. I have seen home health positions available in my area that accept new grads and I don't feel comfortable enough with my skills to apply to them. Hopefully I will find a position in a Ltc or assisted living facility. Thanks again
@@crystalsdestiny Youre more than welcome! Alot of nurses hate LTC, but I actually learned some of my most valuable lessons and gained so much beneficial experience working LTC.
Hi! Great video... I'm new to home health and I've tried to download your Google docs but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way to download this info? Thank you!

Better 2 years late than never…😂 This tip is GREAT. Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm going to look into this!! Thank you!!
Thoughts on recording a voice note while you are seeing the patient?
You are absolutely incredible for making that Google doc. I don't think people appreciate enough what you've made! A thousand times, THANK YOU!
Thank YOU for letting me know I didn't do it for nothin!

@@EverythingHomeHealth I literally only know what I know because of your awesome videos!
I actually use a different EMR for each company. DSL, Perfect, Access, and Kinser to name a few!
I love Perfect EMR too!
This was extremely helpful, thank you! I have a few follow-up questions. Is there a way to get in touch with you about specific home health charting questions?
Sure. Shoot me an email @ rechaela@gmail.com. We can go from there.
You may or may not find this useful, but here's the link to my google docs charting guide: docs.google.com/document/d/1awNGXZ6N-QedgxdhC1HmsODVSHNTj7zeZp6gaSjoihA/copy
Do you offer your google docs?

Yeah, charting is ALOT! And I honestly hated Kinser! lol. If you can master Kinser, you'll be set where ever you go.
Hi I did Home Health in the past. Worst part- charting and then trying to find where people live. We need to be driven to appts.
Iwent ack tobedsode at ltch now. I am having a hard time keeping up after years.
I work at a long-term care facility now. I miss my patients with home health.

Can you share your charting documentation google doc please?
Working on this now. Check back by the end of this week.
here's the link: docs.google.com/document/d/1awNGXZ6N-QedgxdhC1HmsODVSHNTj7zeZp6gaSjoihA/copy
please make more videos
Please tell me what you’d like to see more of? What you’d like to know? I definitely will. ❤
Would you recommend going into home health as a new grad lpn?
I would not recommend it. Only because I often find myself in situations where I'm forced to be resourceful and creative. If it weren't for my prior nursing experiences I honestly don't know how I (or my patient) would have made it safely through. If you have previous CNA experience, then possibly.

Hi! I can email it to you if you'd like?
Good video. I care, but I would never give my personal phone number to a patient
Can't hear anything.
Can't hear you. My volume is all the way up.
So let me get this straight....they want the charting done, but they don't compensate you for the time it takes you to do it? WAGE THEFT.
One of the biggest CONS of home health! Some companies are starting to do better. But there's a long way to go.
