    Thank you to the community members that help me and answer questions. It's so nice to network and see what others are doing. We pay our nurses hourly and are wondering about productivity expectations. Can you email me or comment if you weight your visits like a SOC, ROC, therapy initial eval etc and what you weight them at? Like a SOC is 2.5 or something like that. I'm trying to get an idea of what "industry standard" is to compare and make sure we align. We give our nurses 5 visits/day and reduce from there to account for travel and other weighted visits. For example, they could have a SOC and 2 routine visits for a full 8 hour day or a SOC and one routine visit depending on the amount of travel we have (we live pretty rural in ND with lots of travel). Our SOC documentation/paperwork/careplan needs to be completed same day by end of day. Any information you can share is helpful! Thank you!!

    Good afternoon Kristan,

    NAHC membership works best when our members are connected and working together to support one another’s success. I read your opening comment with much appreciation.

    NAHC’s Board and National Staff are committed and working hard as we invest in the future of enhancing our members’ experience. It’s so important and vital to NAHC’s work to continue to connect the industry that enhancing members’ experience, connections and value is one of the main objections of our recently Board-adopted Strategic Plan.

    2023 has much in store as we work to rollout our new technology investments to assist our members. In that regard, would you allow us to reference your comment as a testimonial as we move forward?

    (If any other member would like to offer a testimonial please feel free to share with membership@nahc.org Peer-to-peer testimonials are by far the most credible as we share NAHC’s member benefits, such as this member-only online community.)

    Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

    Best,
    Lisa
