I’m doing disability exams if veterans on a 4-10 schedule…. I see up to six veterans a day.
6 to 8 patients daily.
I take care of a homebound vet. He is a parapalegic and he takes care of most things for himself. I am there for just the talking and the other. He has the cutest little dog too. And I have past the dog test. Getting ticks off the dog from between it's toes. The dog let me.
Average productivity for Home Health nurse is 6 visits per day. Sometimes admissions are added and you have to adjust your schedule as admissions could take 1-1/2 hr.
A typical day would be four to six patients. It depends on what skills need to be done. Remember that home health requires a patient to be home bound and have a skilled need that could involve dressing changes, IV infusion, teaching meds, providing pain relief measures, etc. Be sure and document clearly the skilled need you provided.
usually 5-6, adjusting visits with you have admissions.
Home health usually works on a point system. A follow-up visit for a patient is one point and an initial visit is usually two points. 6 points typically equals a 8 hour day. So if you did six follow up visits you would see six patients a day. If you were doing an initial visit you could see five patients (1 initial = 2 points and 4 follow-ups).
I worked home health many years ago. At that time, we saw from five to seven or eight patients in a day. We scheduled the patients to allow for minimal travel between patients.
I have a friend still working home health and she has told me that the documentation process is currently much more cumbersome.
Home health here is tipically 5 patients a day but its followed by a couple of hours of paper work or pc charting. You can tell them you want 2 to 7 patients a day.
I take care of 30 patients in a 8 hr shift!
Long term care- 30 to 50; rehab-20 to 30.
1 for case management one on one but also applying for a case management position which would be about 10-15 per week.
for Acute care position 5-6.
for outpatient 10
Icy on a slow day 16 on a busy day 22 to 24. But I’ve also been a nurse practitioner for a long time and prior to that I was an ER/ICU nurse.
20-25
It depends on scheduling;however, I would see 10 or so usually in a day. About 30 min visit each
I see 4-6 per day depending on the acuity and distance between patients.
