Sounds like some overtime to me. Not appropriate to complete within a
8 hour work day with time for notes and conferences.

Subject: [OTlist] A Typical Day, Is this Normal?
There have been some very excellent and insightful posts recently and I
need to go back and read them a second time before I respond..very
thought provoking....
Over the past "busy season" at my place of work I've been having a very
challenging caseload. Please review the circumstances and decide if it
is a normal/comfortable work condition
In an 8 hour day I have to treat and do daily notes, 1 weekly note,
attend 1 weekly staff meeting and attend 1-2 care plan meetings.
1. 91 yo female, femur fx nwb-max assist ADL, wants to go home
alone-60min
2 91 yo female, sternal fx max assist ADL, want to go home alone-60 min
(Eval today)
3 85 yo female, total knee replacement ADL with supervision but
encouragement 45min
4 82 yo female, distal radial fracture-ADL with minimal assit-home
alone-60 min
5 81 yo male, total hip revision-ADL with minimal assist and encourge-
to live alone 60 min
6 77 you female, CVA Aphasic right hemi- max assist self care- to live
with spouse -60 min
7 63 yo female, Multiple sclerosis, max assist ADL, home with spouse,
60 min
8 74 yo fe
mal, CVA right hemi-max assist ADL, r/oSNF placement , 60
minutes
9 65 yo male, Parkinson stand by assist ADL, home with spouse who
works, 60 min
So I'm scheduled to see these people today... about 465 minutes of
treatment,5/9 patiens are maximal assist, all this week, did this all
last week
Does this sound like a reasonable and appropriate schedule?
Am I going to be able to get through it and still provide that
meaningful and effective, individualized treatment that will create a
great public relations image?
Give me some feedback
Brent
