Choose the right perspective
Match the person's level to your question: branch and agency directors suit questions about daily operations and survey readiness, while regional and senior leaders suit questions about running many locations. Also consider whether the person worked at an independent agency, a national home health company or a health system's homecare program.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you staff and schedule clinicians across a branch so visits happen on time without excessive overtime?
- 02What does a strong intake process look like, and how do you keep the time from referral to start of care short?
- 03How do you prepare an agency for state and accreditation surveys and keep OASIS documentation accurate?
