2014-04-17 06:04:10 PM annm211 we need to paint a picture
2014-04-17 06:04:15 PM annm211 so am I
2014-04-17 06:04:26 PM kathyhughes Right and it should be based on what the goals of the resident is
2014-04-17 06:04:41 PM kpachan You need ot incorporate preferences of resident so staff can abide by wishes of the resident
2014-04-17 06:05:04 PM kathyhughes right
2014-04-17 06:05:12 PM dgauntlett we use the AOD system
2014-04-17 06:05:20 PM annm211 know their preferences so even if they are a low functioning resident we can speak to what they like
2014-04-17 06:05:28 PM annm211 AOD?
2014-04-17 06:05:38 PM kpachan What about asking family?
2014-04-17 06:05:40 PM dgauntlett it is electronic charts
2014-04-17 06:05:49 PM annm211 we haven't got there yet

2014-04-17 06:06:24 PM annm211 planned
2014-04-17 06:06:38 PM kathyhughes Where did that come from Annmarie???
2014-04-17 06:06:42 PM bdappert enter the chat room
2014-04-17 06:06:42 PM kpachan We care plan " their preferred name"
2014-04-17 06:06:45 PM annm211 if that is what their preference is to be called
2014-04-17 06:06:49 PM dgauntlett how about for short stay residents? we are getting more and more that stay for less than 14 days
2014-04-17 06:07:02 PM annm211 apparently that is what I am being told here in MAss
2014-04-17 06:07:02 PM bdappert good evening everyone!
2014-04-17 06:07:08 PM jackietate We did the care plan for perfered name also this year
2014-04-17 06:07:14 PM kathyhughes Hello Brandy
2014-04-17 06:07:26 PM bdappert hi
2014-04-17 06:07:30 PM kathyhughes Its not in the regulations
2014-04-17 06:07:35 PM bdappert hows everyonne doing?
2014-04-17 06:07:40 PM scalabrese so does the nursing staff get in trouble even though activity staff us covered in that situation Kathy
2014-04-17 06:07:44 PM bdappert what are we talking about?
2014-04-17 06:07:45 PM kathyhughes I placed their nick name on their assessments
2014-04-17 06:07:56 PM annm211 they may be I but need to have a plan because they are in a SNF
2014-04-17 06:07:56 PM kathyhughes care plans
2014-04-17 06:08:08 PM annm211 hmmm
2014-04-17 06:08:19 PM kathyhughes Heres the deal.....
2014-04-17 06:08:22 PM annm211 I think that's what the state here has been looking at
2014-04-17 06:08:24 PM kathyhughes are you ready?
2014-04-17 06:08:28 PM dgauntlett yes
2014-04-17 06:08:28 PM scalabrese yep
2014-04-17 06:08:29 PM bdappert yep
2014-04-17 06:08:31 PM annm211 :)
2014-04-17 06:08:32 PM dbrewer yes
2014-04-17 06:08:33 PM jackietate yep
2014-04-17 06:08:37 PM joannem Yes
2014-04-17 06:08:37 PM olawaleajayi yes
2014-04-17 06:08:41 PM ssactivities hello...there is a place on the activity assessment that asks preferred name.
2014-04-17 06:08:42 PM 123027 yepp
2014-04-17 06:08:48 PM kathyhughes First.....nick names can be anywhere including an assessment
2014-04-17 06:09:20 PM kathyhughes Second care plans should be indiviualized for everyone meeting their needs and interests and what they want
2014-04-17 06:09:40 PM scalabrese exactly
2014-04-17 06:09:57 PM kathyhughes Third...all dept sign off on the care plan including the DR so they are saying that they will follow the established plan of care
2014-04-17 06:10:10 PM kathyhughes so everyone is responsible for the care plan
2014-04-17 06:10:26 PM ssactivities my problem is making sure nursing gets the res to their desired activities
2014-04-17 06:10:35 PM kathyhughes So when nursing signs off they are to follow everything on the care plan
2014-04-17 06:10:56 PM sibarra80 enter the chat room

2014-04-17 06:12:03 PM scalabrese oh ok. just curious. when state was there i had to wake a resident up and take her to music since state wanted to be picky
2014-04-17 06:12:05 PM sibarra80 ssylvia ibarra
2014-04-17 06:12:10 PM dgauntlett we are primarily responsible for transporting residents.
2014-04-17 06:12:14 PM sibarra80 sylvia ibarra
2014-04-17 06:12:21 PM dgauntlett i feel lucky and grateful when staff help
2014-04-17 06:12:23 PM kathyhughes Thanks Sylvia! WElcome
2014-04-17 06:12:44 PM scalabrese i was like they just put her to bed but i will ask again and what do you know, she ended up changing her mind
2014-04-17 06:12:47 PM annm211 exactly, I thank anyone willing to help
2014-04-17 06:13:02 PM sibarra80 so every dept develops their own care plan riht
2014-04-17 06:13:08 PM scalabrese yes
2014-04-17 06:13:12 PM sibarra80 right?
2014-04-17 06:13:20 PM sibarra80 thank you Kathy
2014-04-17 06:13:32 PM kathyhughes Okay I had that problem....and I used an extreme measure
2014-04-17 06:13:36 PM annm211 social work, nursing, etc.
2014-04-17 06:13:39 PM dgauntlett candy??
2014-04-17 06:13:41 PM dgauntlett lol
2014-04-17 06:13:43 PM scalabrese social services, nursing, activities, everything has to be care planned
2014-04-17 06:13:43 PM bdappert i guess im very lucky. Most of the time I get full cooperation from all of the depts I work with
2014-04-17 06:14:00 PM kathyhughes No candy LOL
2014-04-17 06:14:02 PM dgauntlett i bring a bag of candy with me to activities and give it to the staff that help
2014-04-17 06:14:03 PM annm211 behaviors
2014-04-17 06:14:13 PM dgauntlett it is a small incentive
2014-04-17 06:14:29 PM ssactivities bribary works wonders
2014-04-17 06:14:32 PM joannem As long as it gets results, it's awesome!
2014-04-17 06:14:33 PM kathyhughes I asked the DON if the care plan was the legal part of the medical record
2014-04-17 06:14:36 PM olawaleajayi thats a good idea to show they are appericated
2014-04-17 06:14:43 PM kathyhughes She said yes it is
2014-04-17 06:14:54 PM annm211 makes sense
2014-04-17 06:15:13 PM kathyhughes then I asked that if a nurse and Dr sign off on it does it mean that they are signing a legal document
2014-04-17 06:15:13 PM annm211 you are reating a goal & commenting on progress
2014-04-17 06:15:17 PM kathyhughes She said yes
2014-04-17 06:15:33 PM scalabrese makes sense
2014-04-17 06:15:41 PM annm211 isn't most of the chart that way
2014-04-17 06:15:42 PM sibarra80 totaly it does
2014-04-17 06:15:44 PM annm211 legal
2014-04-17 06:15:52 PM kpachan If a doctor signs off on it would that make it a order?
2014-04-17 06:16:16 PM kathyhughes So I asked if the care plan says that Mrs Q wants to go the church on WEd and the nurse and Dr signed it then they are agreeing to make sure that she does
2014-04-17 06:16:19 PM kathyhughes WELL
2014-04-17 06:16:40 PM kathyhughes That got Mrs Q to church service every Wed
2014-04-17 06:16:44 PM sibarra80 question
2014-04-17 06:16:55 PM kathyhughes I am not sure Kali
2014-04-17 06:17:04 PM kathyhughes Ask away
2014-04-17 06:17:04 PM kpachan just curious...
2014-04-17 06:17:22 PM kathyhughes I would ask the Med Records person
2014-04-17 06:17:26 PM dgauntlett ok here is a budget question...is it best to be under budget or a little over to show you could use more the next year?
2014-04-17 06:17:38 PM kathyhughes a little over always
2014-04-17 06:17:42 PM dgauntlett ok
2014-04-17 06:17:43 PM ssactivities good question..
2014-04-17 06:17:43 PM sibarra80 so if a Dr says that a resident needs room visit but the resident is able to go to the activities dept, you do both?
2014-04-17 06:17:44 PM dgauntlett thank you
2014-04-17 06:17:45 PM jackietate ok but our care plans and MDS are all computered and technically when I sign it.. I sign it stating I completed my section.. not that I have read everyone elses care plans..
2014-04-17 06:17:48 PM kathyhughes spedn every dime
2014-04-17 06:17:52 PM dgauntlett i am stressing big time
2014-04-17 06:18:07 PM annm211 oh yeah spend it or lose it
2014-04-17 06:18:08 PM scalabrese budget as in what? staff hours or department money
2014-04-17 06:18:08 PM dgauntlett trying to do WOW programs on a not so wow budget
2014-04-17 06:18:09 PM dgauntlett lol
2014-04-17 06:18:11 PM kathyhughes I would ask the Dr what are you talking about
2014-04-17 06:18:30 PM annm211 what's a WOW program?
2014-04-17 06:18:51 PM dgauntlett really exciting
2014-04-17 06:19:00 PM dgauntlett wow the residents and staff
2014-04-17 06:19:01 PM annm211 oh lol you mean great programs.. sorry I'm really tired..lol
2014-04-17 06:19:05 PM dgauntlett lol
2014-04-17 06:19:21 PM scalabrese i ask because my budget goes by my census along with staff hours and if we are under i have to cut
2014-04-17 06:19:22 PM kathyhughes I would find out what the Dr wants specifically for room visits and what he/she expects from them
2014-04-17 06:19:26 PM sibarra80 ok cause that happened to me but the patient was able to participate in most of the activities and so I took him off 1:1 and there was a conflict
2014-04-17 06:19:56 PM kathyhughes a conflict with the Dr?
2014-04-17 06:19:59 PM annm211 was he at risk for isolation?
2014-04-17 06:20:05 PM sibarra80 no with the staff
2014-04-17 06:20:14 PM sibarra80 no no Iso
2014-04-17 06:20:16 PM dgauntlett census doesn't effect our hours or budget
2014-04-17 06:20:24 PM dgauntlett thank godness
2014-04-17 06:20:25 PM kathyhughes Don't worry about the staff...be a Glinda

2014-04-17 06:21:17 PM scalabrese census is always up and down. its exhausting cutting and adding hours all the time
2014-04-17 06:21:23 PM scalabrese and frustrating for you and staff
2014-04-17 06:21:32 PM annm211 how do you plan or staff with hrs up & down
2014-04-17 06:21:33 PM kathyhughes Glinda....the Good Witch of the East! "You have no power here"...other Depts don't need to direct the activities
2014-04-17 06:21:40 PM annm211 lol

2014-04-17 06:25:01 PM kathyhughes I would ask Sylvia what does the resident want to do and was the resident social or a loner?
2014-04-17 06:25:03 PM annm211 OMG .. but theystep up & do what I ask but no fire in the eyes
2014-04-17 06:25:14 PM sibarra80 An d there's resident B same situation but he wont get up cause he needs a special wheelchar what can I do about him too
2014-04-17 06:25:32 PM kathyhughes Do they know Annmarie that they can become Activity Directors?

2014-04-17 06:27:15 PM dgauntlett because there is a track of certification for everyone
2014-04-17 06:27:18 PM kathyhughes perhaps they should spend a couple hours in another facility to see what they do
2014-04-17 06:27:19 PM dgauntlett it is awesome!
2014-04-17 06:27:36 PM sibarra80 O yea sbond108 he loves it but there'salways someone to say something about it
2014-04-17 06:27:37 PM annm211 the 1 that interviewed supposed did the self paced course however knows nothing about any info I brought up from MEPAP1
2014-04-17 06:27:43 PM kathyhughes pick one with a dynamic program
2014-04-17 06:27:48 PM 123027 i dont know if you have a lot of outside visitors but maybe go to a near highschool and see if there spanish club would come visit. i know it would make his day and the kids would get community service hours.. just an idea though
2014-04-17 06:28:00 PM sbond108 It really shouldnt matter if thats what he enjoys
2014-04-17 06:28:03 PM kathyhughes Good idea
