Description

Home health is a growing post-acute care practice area for rehabilitation therapists. Home is the location most older adults choose to be even if health care is needed. Working in home care provides the rehab clinician with the opportunity to work one-one-one with each client and to provide services in the most functional setting. Home care offers both pros and cons to the rehab clinician; getting started in the home health setting can be an easier transition when the clinician is well prepared for this work.
This lecture based webinar will cover the key regulatory elements of Home Health as well as the knowledge, skills and abilities to help the new clinician to home care thrive. Strategies to increase caseload organization, time management, patient engagement and practice tips will be covered. Examples illustrating care expectations and documentation processes will be discussed. Resources are provided to connect the rehabilitation clinician with source references for the Home Health setting.
