I am wondering if organizations have written processes on how things are to be documented in an admission assessment, skilled nurse visit, or recertification assessment. What is the necessary minimum that needs to be charted/documented? I'm trying to create a checklist of things that MUST be done for each visit. Are any organizations willing to share their processes?Â

I am looking for information on best practices/standards of care for specific assessments done by the RN upon admission, at recertification, and in between with regular skilled nurse visits.Â
Example: How often should fall risk assessments be completed? How often should the Braden scale assessments be done? What is the minimum that should be completed on an admission assessment?Â
When attempting to create an addendum on one specific client of ours, it is not pulling in the meds or the non-covered diagnosis (even though they are entered). I checked on another client's and it seems to be working but this one particular client isn't. Any suggestions?Â

Axxess hospice app
So far, the Axxess hospice app is only available through the Google Play store or Apple App store. Is there any plan for there to be a Microsoft app that can be downloaded on Microsoft devices like Surfaces or other "2 in 1" laptops?Â
