  1. Carolina Therapy Services New Hire Training

  2. Welcome!! • Carolina Therapy Services is a therapist owned and operated company, based in Dunn NC. • All of our contracts are exclusively in NC – most are skilled nursing facilities, but we also provide services to hospital, outpatient, pediatric, and school system settings. • Located from Murphy to Morehead City, CTS’s facilities represent almost every area of the state, including the Triad, the Triangle, mountains, Fayetteville, and the coast.

  3. What to expect today • Tour of the facility • Introduction to therapy dept staff • Introduction to facility staff and administration • Orientation to electronic documentation and billing software (RNAs) • Corporate Compliance training • Location of Corporate Office contacts, including CTS President, Clinical Specialist, Area Therapy Director, and Corporate Office Staff.

  4. Documentation, Time Cards • All documentation, billing, and clocking in/out completed in our electronic billing software program • You will be set up with your own personal username and password – DO NOT SHARE THEM WITH ANYONE! • CTS expects billing and documentation to be completed timely – at point-of-service or same day, if possible. • Documentation and billing must be accurate and true representations of the services provided. • Daily notes and billing must be completed before leaving for the day! • Make sure you clock in when you first arrive and clock out before leaving

  5. RNA daily notes • RNAs must complete a daily note every time they see the resident. • Daily note must document the services provided for that day in order to address the specific goal • Never copy/paste daily notes – it implies repetitive services are being delivered.

  6. RNA billing and progress notes • Billing should reflect actual minutes delivered each day – do not round minutes up or down or always document 15 minutes treatments • Make sure to report any deviations from planned minutes to the Program Manager ASAP • CTS RNP scheduling flowsheet should be used for planning and to calculate productivity • RNAs should write a weekly narrative progress note once a week that documents the patient’s status towards each goal

  7. Weights • RNA/tech staff may be responsible for taking resident weights either: • Upon admission • Daily • Weekly • Monthly • When weighing residents, it is important to use the same equipment every day to insure accuracy. Make sure to use the same: • Wheelchair • Scale • Walker • Footrests

  8. Gait belts • It is CTS policy that gait belts be used for all patients who are ambulating, standing, or transferring, unless there is a clinical contraindication (ex: wound, colostomy, feeding tube). NO EXCEPTIONS

  9. Name Tags • Name tags must be worn at all times when in one of our facilities.
