Tim Conley, RN, has been an ICU nurse at Madison Hospital for morethan 15 years. His wife, who is also an RN, has been admitted to a master’s program in nursing, so he needs to be more available on weekends to help care for their children. Remembering how much he enjoyed his home health clinical experience when he was a student and needing an 8-to-5 position on weekdays, Tim decides to request a transfer to Madison’s home health agency. After his transfer is approved, Tim has a 3-week orientation to home health and is assigned a caseload of Medicare patients. He quickly realizes that his experience as a hospital staff nurse has not required him to be as knowledgeable about Medicare guidelines as this position would require.Questions1. Why is it so important that Tim understand Medicare guidelines in the home health agency?2. How will Tim’s knowledge of Medicare guidelines help him in providing high quality care to his patients?3. Give examples of two documents which could serve as a resource to Tim ( think of documents that are pertinent to Medicare)? Don Briggs, RN, is the case manager for a rehabilitation center that is part of a large hospital system that also owns a home health agency, a hospital, an outpatient surgery center, and a network of primary care clinics. The executives of the hospital system have committed to putting an electronic health record (EHR) system in place within the next 3 years. Their vision is to have a system in which patient information can be shared across all of the various units and facilities within the hospital system. Don has been asked to serve on the committee to begin the initial planning phase for the EHR, and he is very excited about this assignment and the potential for the EHR. Don experiences frustration on a daily basis when trying to find information for patients who are being admitted from other sites within the system or trying to coordinate the transfer of information for patients who are being discharged. He hopes the new EHR system will allow the patient’s entire record of health information and health care to be accessible from anywhere within the hospital system.Questions 1. How will the EHR help Don and other nurses across the system be more efficient?2. How will the EHR affect patients care?3. What legal and administrative requirements must be considered in planning for the EHR?         Health ScienceScienceNursing NURN 129 Share QuestionEmailCopy linkComments (0)
