WCIL | My FIL had a similar situation when transferring from big hospital to small hospital. The computer was down. SIL had carried the doctor's orders with her. The nurses said not on computer can't do it. SIL was almost kicked out. she should have contacted my husband so we could have contacted our local contacts. SIL was not local anymore. Other SIL is in the health field. She knew how to fill out needed forms. After the forms were filled out a come to Jesus meeting was held and FIL got EXCELLENT care and attention after that.
So I agree, with whoever suggested filling out forms would be the way. Plus, I'm sure Hospice has already had "the Meeting". Get to know the CNAs and nurses that provide care. BE NICE! |
