Surely i'm not the only one aggravated by the new guidelines on Med A
orthotic & prosthetic care - I am composing my correspondance to whom it may
concern - any ideas on the most effective place to send it to & any ideas on
when the new guidelines come into effect ?
it would seem difficult to provide good clinical care & then document that
the device was wrapped up & left in the closet with strict (probably
written) instructions to the patient ensuring thay do not use it until they
are home (probably alone) - especially if the facility has written
requirements that discharge is not without the necessary device - i would
imagine the person should be wearing it not carrying it !!!!
at this rate no-one will get the care they deserve - i am off to make myself
one of everything just in case i end up in a SNF or hospital
rsvp - Heather
