Great ideas! This is helpful to me even as a COTA working in a SNF setting. I've been using and developing my own template organized by CPT codes to help me when entering billing. But using speech-to-text could also be a game changer when typing different narratives for screens, home assessments, care plans, etc. Thank you! 🤓👍
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Trevor!
New grad PTA here! I am entering home health, I’m so glad I came across this video! I requested for the Facebook for the docs thank you so much.
You've been added to the group! Just follow the steps to get going.
Love it! Thanks for the tips!
You are very thorough. Wish this crossed over for nursing.
Perhaps I'll collab with a nurse to put some resources together.
I love your content. Just downloaded your apps, waiting to get into dockeys FB group. Thank you 😊
Awesome! Thank you! You're in the group now.
Very helpful. Thank you. I am a new grad Occupational Therapy Assistant about to start a Home Health Adult opportunity and my main fear is documentation in a timely manner. Do you offer templates for Occupational Therapy based?
Sorry not at this time.
I need physical therapy to come to my apartment to help me with balance and confidence since they did sidewalk I am still afraid to go out by myself my anxiety is to high

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. You can speak with your primary care physician about getting a referral for home health.
Question:
I am interested in leaving bedside for homehealth as an RN. Lots of charting at bedside. Is HH charting significantly more than bedside, or is just simply different?
I'm sorry, but I'm not too familiar with the charting requirements for bedside nursing.
Hello Trevor, Thank you very much for this helpful video. I always struggle with documentation and all the extra time it takes.
I was unable to find the link to your "home health documentation templates with 192 full-text examples to complete your documentation faster"
Can you please send it again? I am sure it will be very helpful.
Great and very helpful video, you are wonderful, Are you going to be offering a Black Friday discount on your templates ? Are you going to do an course on snf just curious
Hey! Sorry no plans for Black Friday. I don't do sales virtually ever. That way you're always getting the best price.
Do you have any assistance for SLP’s in regards to Point Care?
Nothing right now unfortunately.
I'm a new sub and am starting pt school this summer! However, I am a bit worried with all of the DPT programs popping up and reimbursement cuts + the APTA themselves expecting a surplus of 25k PTs by 2030. Do you think home health DPT will still be a viable option for new grads and other PTs hoping to make around 100k before taxes in a few years?
Hi, thanks for subscribing! The future of PT certainly looks much different than the past. I can't say I have a lot of faith in the value of a PT degree in 5 to 10 years which has to do with the things you mentioned in addition to many upcoming tech products that are competing against traditional PT. Anyone entering school now should 100% expect to be versatile and think outside the box for income in order to have a decent living. I believe home health will be around and you'll be able to make 6 figures, but I don't see pay rising much. I'll admit though, you can never really predict what law makers will do. With massive inflation, many staff PTs have taken pay cuts or pay has been stagnant. You should expect that you'll need to generate other revenue streams to compliment your PT income. If you're able to think differently and find solutions to problems, you'll do alright. Best of luck with school!
@@TrevorMinerPTDPT Thanks for the quick and detailed reply! Could you tell me about the upcoming tech products you are worried about? I thought home health pt would be safe against that but I must be misinformed. Also, I am attending a program that will cost about 25-28k in total. Would you still pursue a DPT in my shoes?
@@Km-xi2gh Healthcare is the next frontier for technology. For good or bad. If you can adapt and be flexible you'll be fine. There are many tech companies looking at home health and developing products. It's certainly not all bad.
That's a good cost for school. Including living expenses, I definitely wouldn't go over the 80-100K mark total.
These are great tips. I’m looking forward to the Dickeys. Is there a way to create keystrok shortcuts on the desktop (Mac); I use both my iPad and my Mac desktop for documentation. Any suggestions? I have already created shortcuts for my iPad, however, I am stuck to cutting and pasting from a word document template on my desktop.
That is what /DocKeys does. You can create them for the iPad.
Hi Trevor. Great content! When working on a point system base, how many points do you think, SOC/ROC, DC oasis, evals, regular visits and dc's should be worth?
There's really a lot to consider. Territory, mileage, salary/PPV, productivity, etc. Nothing should ever be worth less than 1. A SOC should typically be 2.5-3 points. A ROC similar or a bit less. Evals and everything else should be around 1.5. It really depends on all the other factors though. Thanks for watching and commenting.
If you are salaried, you can use this calculator I made to help better understand what you're actually being paid. homehealthcourse.com/home-health-pay-calculator-make-sense-of-the-point-madness/
Hi Trevor. I would like to discuss your /DocKeys software. Could you please give me some more information on it?

Any tips for new grads to break into home health. A few agencies I have interviewed with prefer 1 year of experience typically.
I’m a new grad and I’ve gotten 6 interviews and 5 job offers. I’ve accepted one and it’s very possible for new grads without experience to land a job
Most every agency "prefers" 1 year of experience, but it is most definitely NOT required at most. Overwhelmingly I would recommend that you negotiate all factors relating to pay (base pay, pay for going above productivity, meeting pay, mileage/going outside of your area, weekend pay, etc) all before starting. It is much harder to address issues in these areas AFTER you start working.
If you want to be at the top of the game, I recommend taking my course which is designed especially for therapists new to the setting. learn.homehealthcourse.com/the-home-health-evaluation-course
I’ve been a home care therapist (OT) for over 14 years. It’s best to have experience first because you may not have someone present to assist you if you end up in a person’s home. I’m thankful mine are in Assisted Living buildings , but have had a large portion at one time in the houses( especially during the pandemic when most buildings were closed to outside people/vendors) you need to be comfortable with assessing people and knowing when to send someone to the hospital, be prepared to engage in CPR on your own and also deal with interesting situations with family members , girlfriends and multiple people living in a house or other environments. In some homes you also see those without food and spend time dealing with that before your regular job duties. If you have a social worker assist that can take a burden off of you.
I’d say a year in The hospital setting and maybe one that offers acute, SUBACUTE and homecare so you get a sample of each. I had this experience and it was amazing. Although back in 1997. Things have changed drastically since. I also worked in all settings except school system , to draw knowledge from.
Exactly , hands in the face. It’s ridiculous!!!!!
