Our organization style is a team approach
with the Team Leader RN visiting the patient on the initial visit
to determine patient and family needs. This Team Leader
is a resource person, holds team meetings and patient conferences,
and updates the Plan of Care. Under the Team Leader,
there are 2-4 primary RNs who see the patient after the initial admission
to provide further cares. Our approach, as noted, is multidisciplinary. Besides
nursing, we have therapies, personal care workers, medical social
worker.
One RN says she enjoys Home Care because "you're thinking
on your feet." It allows for "independence
and flexibility"
in determining your own schedule. The patient is
followed by the same nurse throughout duration of care, so you're
able to see how "caringinterventions impact
patientimprovements."
If you have more questions and would like to talk with an employee candidly,
call 448-7000 and ask for Diane, Lisa, Brenda, Valerie or Lynette,
Primary RN's. We would be happy to answer your
questions.
