In short

  • Every year a physician and a registered nurse review our patient care policies.
  • A physician, a pharmacist, and a registered nurse review our policies on legend devices (devices that need a prescriber’s order) every year.
  • Always use the current policy manual. Ask your supervisor if you cannot find a policy.
  • If a patient or family member asks to see a policy, tell the office. We provide it.
  • If a policy does not match what really happens in the home, tell your supervisor so it can be fixed.
