Assisted with due diligence of home health companies that were being viewed for possible purchase or joint venture with the company. Also, assisted with training all personnel when a new company became a part of our company with policies, procedures and the Amedisys way.

Managed the staff in the Fayetteville Care Center along with the Clinical Managers to make sure patients received the appropriate care delivered in the manner best suited for them. In 2006 undertook a "Start Up" of a new care center in Stockbridge GA and went from zero to ~250 patients within 90 days. During this time, I was responsible for reviewing, coding and locking all OASIS that came into the care center as well as managing the staff, ensuring scheduling was accurate and building the business.

A new position formed after the 1997 Balanced Budget Act to review all OASIS as they came into the care center to make sure the patient's plan of care was modeled for that patient. Also, continued to see patient's in the field, trained newly hired nurses, assisted the DOO with yearly performance evaluations, scheduled all visits for my team of clinician and worked with other Clinical Managers to make sure our patient's received the best care possibly in their homes.

Evaluated patients in their home settings under order of their physician to meet their needs to keep them out of the hospital and emergency room. Instructed patients and their caregivers in disease processes, signs and symptoms to report, wound care, diet, medications and followup with their physician. In doing so, this allowed the patients to feel "at home" and more able to absorb the knowledge needed to keep them as healthy as possible.

Assisted Area Vice Presidents in educating and training Director of Office Operations along with Clinical Manager in management of clinicians, recertifications, OASIS questions and use of multiple reports to keep the care center functioning at its highest level. Also assisted in auditing charts for multiple care centers for ADR's and for care centers on Decert Tracks. Assisted care centers with coding OASIS for SOC, ROC and recertification as needed under the direction of the CAM's.
