Visiting Our Core Values: High Ethical Standards

As we continue this series on our values, one of our biggest commitments is to ethics. Our commitment to high ethical standards influences every aspect of our business.

In 2012, we were part of a team of agencies that developed the Qualification Tool. The Qualification Tool (QT) helps physicians and agencies determine if a client should be receiving nursing services or PCA services, and how much of each. This ensures that in this era of nursing shortages we have the right people performing the right tasks according to their skill level.

Another commitment to our high ethical standards is our commitment to accurate time cards and time reporting. We have a multi-step process to ensure that all nursing time reporting is complete and accurate.

We’ve written several prior blogs on our ethical standards, We are a team of caring professionals who provide excellent clinical care using our proven process to succeed for over twenty years. We are proud to make a measurable difference in the lives of our clients every day!

I’m Joan, and I know home care from the inside out. I’ve navigated my daughter through 24/7 home care nursing and managed her PCA’s. I’ve helped my parents move into (and out of) assisted living, Medicare episodes, skilled nurse visits, home health aids, and PCAs. Sandwiched in all of that, I’ve helped coordinate home care equipment and supplies, physical therapists, occupational therapists, county workers, and medications (oh, the medications). I know emergency departments, children’s hospitals, cancer wards, cardiac floors, and specialty units. I can recite health insurance policies (and call their bluff). I know a lot of other things in life too, like Shakespeare, where to sit to see a great sunset over a lake, how to keep myself healthy, how to read a profit/loss statement and state statutes, when to use a comma, and that gratitude is one of the keys to success. So I’m going to have this blog and write about home care from time to time. I’ll include topics like current legislation, professional boundaries in a tricky environment, and being a caregiver. I’ll also post some guest blogs from clients and nurses. Join me in the conversation.
