Host Home/Companion Care (HH/CC) service providers:

You may often feel unsure of what is expected of you and the role that you play in the lives of the individuals served in the HCS program receiving HH/CC services.  This session will provide you with a better understanding of what your responsibilities are in the program, and in particular, what the nurse may expect of you now that you have been contracted by an HCS provider.  You will learn what HHSC surveyors expect from the provider concerning HH/CC services and the rules and regs that apply to HH/CC services.  Our goal is hopefully to make you more comfortable with your role and to have a better understanding of your “job description.” 

Nurses, CMs, and PMs:

You may be a Nurse, Case Manager, or Program Manager in the HCS program who doesn’t really know what the facility’s responsibilities are for your individuals receiving HH/CC services.  Perhaps you are new or have never received training specifically in this area.  Maybe surveyors are indicating that your facility has some systemic problems in terms of monitoring nursing and health services for persons receiving HH/CC appropriately, or coordinating and monitoring services in general for the individual.  Our goal is to also speak to the RN, CM, and PM in this session as well, to ensure they understand what they are responsible for as well.  

In Addition

– If you are also an HH/CC provider who is the CRA (Client’s Responsible Adult) for an individual, what does that mean in terms of responsibilities?

 


Topics:

-The HH/CC service provider, the SC at the LIDDA, the HCS Provider, & The RN: How Do They Work Together To Best Help The Individual?

-What does the Nurse Expect of the HH/CC Service Providers, If Performing Medical Tasks? 

-What type of paperwork will HH/CC Provider be expected to turn in and why? Service Delivery Logs, Training & Behavioral Data, Incident/Injury Reports, Medication Errors, MARS, PRN sheets, Controlled Med Counts, Medical Appt. Consults, etc…

-Who gets the general paperwork and medical paperwork that the HH/CC provider is responsible for, and who has the right to look at these documents turned in?

-Where does the HH/CC Provider document?  Service Delivery Logs, Incident/Injury Reports, Medication Error Form, MARS (Medication Administration Review Sheets), Treatment Sheets or Significant Observations Sheets/Data Sheets, etc…

-What is appropriate documentation?  Ensuring documentation is accurate, timely, and not fraudulent.

-Will the RN or Other Provider Representative have to go to the home, and how often does this occur? 

-On-Site Inspections-Initial/Quarterly, Evacuation Plans, Fire Drills, Other Emergency Drills

-What if the HH/CC Provider is also the CRA (Client’s Responsible Adult)What Does This Mean?

-What does it mean if I am exempted? HH/CC Exemption Qualification & Requirements
