Nursing

The Registered Nurse Home Health Case Manager, at the request of the Intake Department, provides nursing services to patients as ordered by the physician. The nurse is a specialist in assessing the patients condition and developing a plan of care to improve, monitor, and document the course of treatment prescribed by the physician for the patients diagnosis. The plan of care is developed to reduce symptoms, educate the patient, gain patients compliance to the prescribed plan of care, and assist the patient in becoming independent with self care when capable, based on the individual needs of the patient. Additionally, the nurse communicates with all members of the care team to insure proper coordination of care.
