In this episode I answer a question from Gina.

In a recent email from Gina, she asks the following question.

“One topic I would love for you to cover is that of high case loads - and what you consider that number to be, what number is considered ideal for excellent, superior care and how to manage/re-work your visit frequencies when those loads are high.”

 During this episode I do cover what I consider to be a normal caseload. I explain that our caseload should really be measured by how many visits we make during a week when our goal is to see most of them at least twice per week.

I explain that years of experience does play a large role in determining how many patients someone can manage at once.

I review how case management changes when the majority of our patients are in LTC facilities.

At the beginning of the episode I put out a challenge to those of us who are in leadership to make very attempt to stay connected to our field staff.
