  • What did Homecare look like on that first
    visit?
  • Nurses wore heels, caps, capes and white
  • They carried 1 little doctor bag-no pager, no
    cell, no IVs, no equipment, no treatment bags,
    no pepper spray, mace, stun gun.
  • The patient was sitting in a chair fully dressed
    waiting for the visit with a snack ready to
    share, eager to have a visitor, or someone to
    take their temperature, cook a hot meal do some
    light housework.

  • Who supports/assists the healthcare workers
    efforts in the home environment?

    care of your Husband Which one is the
    patient?

Kaleida Health SPHM Programs
  • Did you know that SWs, OTs, D/C Planners
    Liaison positions have been cut?
  • Patients leave the hospital before they have even
    gotten out of bed or used a toilet!
  • D/C Planners sometimes dont see the patient, ask
    about the home environment, or speak to the
    people that the patient tells them will be
    assisting with their care in the home! OH Yeah
    my neighbor will change my dressing He can
    flush my PIC line too
  • No Equipment is discussed or ordered prior to
    D/C.

16
Kaleida Health SPHM Programs
  • So with all those impacts how do we keep everyone
    safe?
  • Everything in Homecare has changed but the way we
    deliver care has remained the same.
  • In the words of Dr. Phil-
  • how's that working for you?

17
Look at that stride!
18
Kaleida Health SPHM Programs
  • Quote from a 1898 Nursing text book
  • Occasionally the complaint is made that a nurse
    has injured her back or strained herself in some
    way in moving a patient. This will generally be
    because she failed to do the lifting properly
  • (Hampton, 1898, p.102).

19
Kaleida Health SPHM Programs
  • When is it easier to get the King of the Castle
    to agree to allowing the necessary equipment in
    to the home?
  • When they are vulnerable in a hospital bed
    wanting to go home at any cost wearing a gown
    that exposes their backside?
  • OR
  • You open the case they are in their castle
    sitting on their thrown, with a cigarette in
    their mouth,their dog growling at you and their
    King size bed on the second floor?

20
Kaleida Health SPHM Programs
  • Communicate-who are all the Stakeholders?
  • Assess-who is qualified and invested to provide
    an appropriate assessment?
  • Have the tools necessary to do the job-Hospital
    bed, lift, Non-Friction Sheets, caregiver
    support,3-Position Lift Chair
  • Use an Admission Agreement-smoking, pets,
    equipment brought in to the home.
  • Develop a Plan of Care-include safety,
    communicate to the next person

21
Kaleida Health SPHM Programs
  • When dont you open a case? Does your agency say
    no to a case?
  • Do you expect the support person to be present
    when you open the case?
  • Do PT and NSG open the case together
  • HHA in the Home when PT or NSG is there
  • Equipment is preordered to be delivered prior to
    D/C or on the day of D/C.
  • Your agency is a SPHM care provider, it is in
    your admission agreement.
