Frequently Asked Questions

• When do I need to complete additional documentation related to a hospitalization?

  • Additional documentation needs to be completed when a client has been hospitalized >24 hours.

  • Documentation should be completed within 24 hours of the clinician being notified of the hospitalization.

• How many clinicians in the home need to complete this documentation?

  • Only one clinician in the home needs to complete the Agency Transfer document in Clinical Documents

  • However, all clinicians will need to perform a re-evaluation (Pediatric POC or FUVN) at their first visit back in the home following hospitalization.  The first clinician to perform a visit will complete a Pediatric POC note and all others will complete a FUVN.

• Is there anything special that I need to know related to our Therapy Assistant Program?

  • Yes- Thank you for remembering our Therapy Assistants!  Since Therapy Assistants are not able to complete assessments, they will need their supervisor to complete a supervisory visit either before they return to the home or at the assistant's first session following a hospitalization >24 hours. It is extremely important to communicate hospitalizations with the entire care team to allow appropriate arrangements to be made!
