LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Describe two examples of professional workplace behavior Identify three characteristics of acting professionally Explain two ways to treat patients professionally OVERVIEW Professional behavior in the workplace can be difficult to define. Professionalism means different things to different people and can vary from agency to agency. It is something that isn't formally taught and is often left up to the home health aide to figure out. Further, behavior that some patients may find perfectly acceptable may offend others. It is therefore important that home health aides know what actions make up professional behavior and put those into practice. Home health aides must be aware of the agency's standards and there must be proof that aides follow them. The agency's reputation, and the health and safety of patients, depend on this knowledge and practice. This aide in-service outlines professional behavior and will serve as a guideline to training the home health aide on professionalism.

LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Identify three signs of stress Define burnout, and Explain two ways to deal with stress.

This in-service reviews the importance of caring for yourself first. It outlines how to do that by recognizing and dealing with stress.

LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Describe three methods for improving safety in the kitchen Explain three ways to make a home safe for patients, and State three things that attract burglars. OVERVIEW Home health aides care for patients with many different diseases and needs. However, one thing applies to all patients: the need for a safe and effective home environment that allows for proper recovery. While the nurse or physical therapist may conduct a home safety assessment for patients, it is often the home health aide who must observe and report changes in the environment that could affect patient safety. In addition, aides are often responsible for preparing meals for patients. Given that many home fires start in the kitchen while cooking, it is important that aides know the basics of fire prevention. This in-service reviews the home environment and ways to keep it safe for patients. It specifically outlines ways to prevent fires, falls, carbon monoxide poisoning, and burglaries. Finally, this in-service covers methods to improve home safety for visually impaired patients.

As aides need training, you can make as many copies as you want - there's no restriction when used with aides assigned from your office location. Remember that Home Health Aides must have 12 hours of in-service training every year. LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: * List three methods of observing patients * Identify the differences between objective and subjective reporting * List four patient observations which must be recorded and reported, and * Recognize the importance of knowing what to report. LESSON OVERVIEW One of the Conditions of Participation (COP), §484.36, addresses home health aide services. A frequently cited deficiency is in the Standard: Assignment and duties of the home health aide, §484.36(c). The State Operations Manual indicates that surveyors should always make at least one home visit to observe a home health aide providing direct service. In addition, the surveyor may question the aide informally and will certainly review records of patients receiving home health aide services. The Standard: Coordination of patient services is another problematic area frequently cited during surveys. The standard in §484.14(g) mandates that all personnel providing services maintain liaison to ensure coordination of care and that the clinical record establishes that effective interchange and reporting of patient care does occur. A lack of documentation by home health aides frequently contributes to deficiency in this standard. The Interpretive Guidelines gives specific guidance to surveyors to look for documentation by home health aides in the clinical record describing significant information or changes in the patients' conditions and to whom these changes were reported. As agencies struggle to provide the highest quality, most cost-effective care for patients in the Prospective Payment System (PPS), the importance of observation and reporting by home health aides has taken on even greater importance. Patient problems need to be identified and acted upon as quickly as possible. It is likely that the home health aide spends more time with the patient than any other discipline and thus is more likely to note changes in the patient sooner. The subject of observing, recording, and reporting should be addressed frequently with them.

OVERVIEW The patient's clinical record is the primary source of information regarding a patient's care. Caregivers and agencies use it as a record of the care the health care team provides. It is not only a home health aide's source of instruction, but it is also an aide's tool for documenting care provided. As such, it is important that aides know what documentation is required and the best way to describe that information. This in-service discusses the aide's role and documentation reasons, tips, and examples, and includes a short grammar review.

LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Discuss the different types of therapy home health patients may receive Explain three ways to support a therapy plan of care, and State three reasons a patient might receive therapy services OVERVIEW A rehabilitation program in the home may require the skills of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. However, a patient's care doesn't stop with the therapists. Home health aides are dedicated to supporting a program's daily requirements. They offer encouragement that can be a determining factor in the patient's recovery. Observing, documenting, and reporting even the slightest change in a patient's health can have a significant impact on a patient's therapy plan. This in-service focuses on the role of the home health aide when working with therapy patients. It looks at the different therapies prescribed for patients suffering from common diseases and injuries. It also offers examples of how home health aides carry out portions of the therapy program as directed by the therapists. Finally, it emphasizes the home health aide's role as being instrumental in helping a therapy patient reach his or her full potential and recovery.

LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Name the four vital signs Describe how to take and record vital signs accurately Know when to report changes in vital signs OVERVIEW Vital signs are some of the most important indicators of a patient's health. They are taken often on all patients, but shouldn't be considered routine. Vital signs can be an early indicator of serious disease issues. For instance, a temperature increase can indicate infection, and changes in respiration can indicate cardiopulmonary disease. It is important, therefore, that home health aides understand how to obtain and record vital signs accurately. This in-service looks at the four vital signs: temperature, heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure. It gives instructions on how home health aides can obtain these measurements to ensure the proper observation of their patients. It also reviews pain, the "fifth vital sign."

OVERVIEW Today there are more assaults on workers in the health care and social services industries than in any other. By the nature of their work in community settings and homes, home health aides have extensive contact with the public. This contact, especially if it occurs during evening or early morning hours or in high-crime areas, greatly increases their vulnerability. It is a fact that violence in the workplace ranks as the leading cause of occupational death for women according to the National Employment Law Project, Inc. One of the most important measures to reduce workplace violence is to educate staff in preventive measures as well as how to recognize and deal with escalating hostility. Home health aides, like all other employees are at some risk of violence from co-workers, but they are especially at risk from patients, families, or strangers they encounter during their work day.
