Homebound screen in Point of Care

You may need to complete the following as a one-time setup in order to use this Homebound screen in the assessment.

From Barnestorm Office go to the Codes screen > Security> Global Setting > POC and change 0755 to True.

You also may want to go under Codes > POC Codes> Assess Forms and add Homebound to the list of Screen Names so that you can assign disciplines.

1. Select an available ID from the first column to the left

2. Key in the Screen Name at the top as Homebound (exactly that way)

3. Select which disciplines should have access to the screen

4. Click on Save

For Home Health patients, the Homebound screen will show up under the required tab. 

Criteria 1 and 2a/b will be required on OASIS assessment types.

Criteria 1

Each category will have a drop-down box to select from.  When you check a box, additional options will appear to the right.

Because of illness or injury has a few rules in place:

      Ø  If the patient does not have an ICD History or a 485 entered, there will not be an option for the POC user to select ICD codes.  The “Show ICDs” button is not available for the user to click on.  The only thing open for them at this time is a blank field named “Diagnosis” that is located next to the“Because of illness or injury” question.

      Ø  If the patient has a 485 created, but does not have ICD codes in the 485 – The“Show ICDs” button is available for the user to click on.  They will receive a message “This patient does not have a locked OASIS, so the current ICD codes have not been verified”. When they click on OK to that message it shows a blank list where the ICD codes would be available for them to select from. 

      Ø  If the patient has a 485 created with ICD codes, but 1) does not have an OASIS keyed; or 2) has an OASIS started but not locked and exported - The “Show ICDs”button is available for the user to click on.  They will receive a message“This patient does not have a locked OASIS, so the current ICD codes have not been verified”.  At this point it pulls up a list of ICD codes that have been keyed into the 485. 

      Ø  Once the OASIS is in the locked and exported status, the POC user will no longer receive the warning message about “This patient does not have a locked OASIS,so the current ICD codes have not been verified”.  A list of ICD codes on the current 485 will appear.

Pull from last visit:  This will pull the previous answers forward from the most recent visit for the discipline logged in.  When you select this button a message appears asking if you are sure you want to overwrite your existing text with the previous visit’s text.  When you click on Yes to that message, a message will appear telling you exactly which visit note the data was pulled from.  If there is not a previous entry to pull from a message will appear letting the user know.
