The third episode of the Care in Motion podcast addresses documentation efficiency for home health clinicians. The hosts—Dan, Lisa, Dan Catuccio, and Brendan—share their strategies for timely documentation. While their approaches differ (Dan C. completes most documentation in patients' homes using voice dictation, Lisa prefers documenting at home between 2-4 PM, and Brendan finishes notes in his car between visits), they all emphasize establishing upfront expectations with patients about documentation during visits. Key recommendations include using technology effectively, documenting subjective information within the first five minutes, utilizing templates, taking 5 minutes after each visit to capture critical information, and knowing when to decline additional patients to prevent documentation backlog. The hosts stress that timely documentation is essential for quality patient care and encourage clinicians who struggle with documentation to gradually start small by implementing these practices.
