18 What should the RN Field Supervisor Evaluate? Appearance of Personal Care Aide/Personal Assistant Timely arrival of Personal Care Aide/Personal Assistant Ability of aide/assistant to do tasks assigned Relationship with participant and caregiver, if applicable Changes in participant status Changes in caregiver status Changes in environment Effectiveness of care plan
19 We want to know what elements of the care plan you reviewed with the aide/assistant and participant/caregiver. Did you - Demonstrate any procedure? Review transfer techniques? Instruct the aide/assistant on what to do if he/she cannot complete the care plan as ordered? The Common Sense Factor Some things cannot be evaluated on the first visit
20 Unlocking the door to quality service Supervisory Role Know staff capabilities reinforce strengths, teach new skills Set goals clearly identify expectations within the scope of practice for personal care aides. Encourage team concept make sure personal care aides/personal assistants are respected team members. Encourage communications. Be consistent. Invest extra time with new staff and new participants. Clearly defined goals, tasks, roles and expectations, along with consistent follow-through help develop best practice model of care.
21 Signature Verification RN Field Supervisors should obtain a participant signature at case opening and on each subsequent supervisory visit. Personal Care Aides/Personal Assistants and Companions should obtain consumer signature each service day at the end of service provision.
22 Reporting and Documentation The R. N. Field Supervisor should complete a report during each visit. The report should indicate the effectiveness of activities carried out by the Personal Care Aide/Personal Assistant. The report should also indicate any changes in participant status noted by the Personal Care Aide/Personal Assistant and observed by the R.N. Field Supervisor. The report must be kept on file for PCA review.
23 When to call the PCA Service Coordinator Report any changes in participant status or environment which might effect the participant care plan or require any type of intervention or follow up by PCA. Report any problems in service delivery. Report any incidents involving PCA participants or Personal Care Aides/Personal Assistants during provision of care to PCA participants.
24 Incidents Refer to the OLTL Bulletin dated October 14, 2011, effective date, October 11, 2011, Critical Incident Management Policy for Office of Long Term Living Home and Community Based Services Programs.

27 Required Incident Reporting *Examples only; not a complete list Observed, Reported, or Suspected Abuse Observed Falls Whether the Personal Care Aide/Personal Assistant was physically involved with the consumer at the time or not. Reported Thefts Unauthorized phone use Inappropriate treatment of Personal Care Aide/Personal Assistant
28 Emergency Response PCA participants and Personal Care Aides/Personal Assistants involved in life threatening situations, medical or otherwise, should be instructed to call 911. PCA is NOT an emergency response organization. The PCA Service Coordinator should be informed of the situation and actions taken as soon as possible after the event.
29 Provider Responsibilities in Emergencies Training Support Communication
30 Provider Responsibilities Cont. Providers are expected to provide emergency assistance according to established industry standards. Personal Care Aides/Personal Assistants should know how to provide emergency first aid until 911 personnel arrive.
31 Communications Observation/concerns should be reported to the PCA Service Coordinator. If the Service Coordinator is not available in the event of an emergency, follow this communication path. Service Coordinator Supervisor IF NOT AVAILABLE I Supervisor On Call
32 Training PCA requires a minimum training level as indicated below. Cross training or higher skill level will not affect reimbursement rates. Personal Care/Personal Assistant 40 hrs.

35 What should I do if? Requested duties fall outside the scope of a personal care aide? Another agency is involved? Consumer may be eligible for skilled services? Other any ideas?
