Homebound Training

To qualify for home health services, a patient’s medical situation is closely examined through their doctor’s records or any records from their recent hospital stay. These records must clearly show why the patient needs professional nursing care and why it’s hard for them to leave their home for treatment. When a home health agency evaluates a patient for the first time, this information can be added to the doctor’s records, bolstering the case for why the patient needs care at home.
