Hello All: I've been in PP for about 4 years and worked in Rehab/faculty before that.
Recently, I started PRN work at a HH agency. After only two weeks, I've run into a dilemma. After eval my first HH patient, I decided he needed 5 day a week OT. Today the HH agency called me to say that I could NOT see patients 5 days a week because they wouldn't make enough money if I did that. I talked at length about my role with the patient, etc. But, the HH nurse told me that I had to cut back my visits. I believe that patient has potential and will benefit from intensive OT. He has made some progress, but it's slow going. I believe it is wrong to cut back my treatment ONLY because the agency is "crying" over not making enough money. But, I am an employee of the agency. So what would YOU do? Thanks, Ron x-posted to AOTA -- Options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
