HHA Veronica Atkins goes above and beyond for her patients!
Clinical case manager Megan Coleman wants to recognize Home Health Aide team member, Veronica Atkins, saying that it’s “always a pleasure” to talk to Veronica. “I find her to be not only polite, but warm and friendly. She’s really on top of the patient’s care and seems to truly go above and beyond for her. For example, today she went to two hospitals to track down her patient who fell outside of service hours, and when I asked when the last time the patient saw her primary care physician, she already had an appointment made for her, per hospital discharge instructions.”
It is very important that you mark every task listed on the Plan of Care in the HHAx App before clocking out.
The HHAx app requires that all tasks in a client’s plan of care be marked with the checkmark ✔ or with the X when you are clocking out of the visit. The app no longer allows you to leave a task blank.
• If you performed a task that day, you should mark it with a checkmark ✔.
• If you did not perform a task, you just need to mark it with an X.
If you mark a task with an X, you then select the reason for why you did not perform the task. For more information, click here.
