Video Runtime: 26 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 17 Minutes
Much discussion and interest has been generated since the ruling on Jimmo v. Sebelius occurred. However, lack of understanding at all levels of the organization regarding maintenance therapy has made people wary of providing this level of care, despite the fact it is part of what the Medicare beneficiary is entitled to. Without clarity, implementation risks are real, and there are few resources available to ensure appropriate patient identification, case management, and discharge planning. This course is applicable to the leadership and clinical staff of both home care agencies and outpatient therapy providers. This course will provide a foundational overview of the opportunities for effective and efficient maintenance therapy programs, especially in the current payment and pandemic environment. The focus will be on home- and clinic-based care delivery models.

No one chooses to be a nurse or therapist based on a love of documentation, but the ability to effectively and efficiently communicate defensible content goes hand in hand with providing skilled care. Clinicians often lament the volume of documentation associated with working in home health and express frustration over the tools they are required to complete. This session will establish the foundation of defensible documentation and provide an overview of a framework supporting the ability to make documentation smarter, not harder.

The "O" portion of the SOAP note ("objective") is not a new concept when it comes to clinical documentation. Although the focus seems to be more on therapy than on nursing, all clinical documentation needs to contain a level of quantifiable information by which patient improvement or stabilization can be measured. The "A" portion ("assessment") goes hand in hand with the "O" as it is insufficient to just provide measures without analyzing the findings.

This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from standard MedBridge courses. This course will provide the post-acute (home health) clinician with basic information regarding the ICD-10 Code Set, its purpose, and the importance of clinical documentation in the Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) taking effect January 1, 2020. Currently home health nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists commonly focus their documentation on those clinical findings that will receive skilled intervention to stabilize (maintain) or restore (improve) client functioning, leaving the underlying disease, disorder or condition relegated solely to medical history status. The PDGM will require clinicians to link foci of care to causative etiology(s) to ensure proper payment through primary grouping assignment and capture of available comorbidity adjustments.

Once the data are collected, what should the therapist do with it? Documentation reveals that although some tests and measures are being used, the discussion often stops at the reporting of the results. Simply reporting a test score or numerical result is an incomplete representation of therapy skill. The SOAP format moves forward with the A - Assessment - and P - Plan - components.

What does the "typical" patient receiving therapy in the home setting look like? It seems the days of mostly orthopedic or post-CVA patients have passed, to be replaced by patients with much more complex medical conditions. Therapists need to be prepared to address the unique issues connected to specific patient populations, whose numbers are growing, that seek out home based options for care.

What makes therapy care planning different in a home-based model? At face value it may seem that the delivery of therapy is fundamentally the same across all settings but being in a person's home presents unique challenges and opportunities to maximize impact of functional ability. This course will set the stage for home based care by comparing and contrasting regulatory, care coordination and documentation expectations to facility based care.
