O-4-091 Contractor General Orientation

🎯 PURPOSE

Describes the process for when a contracted staff is oriented to provide client care for Adara Home Health.

Contract therapy staff will be oriented to pertinent Adara policies, procedures and processes as well as other information necessary to acquaint them with the Company. This will enable contract staff to provide quality physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy services to Adara Home Health clients.

🔄 PROCESS

1. The branch location will send the Contractor Welcome Letter and New Contractor Information form to the contractor/contracted facility and once this is received, the contracted therapist(s) will be scheduled for orientation at an Adara facility or other facility if both parties agree on this.
2. At orientation, an Adara Home Health staff will print off the contractor orientation packet of documents and place them in an Adara Home Health Folder to be provided to the contract therapist. When the orientation training guide is completed by both Adara staff and the contracted therapist, a copy will be provided to the therapist and the original filed electronically in the therapist’s Adara file.
3. Adara Home Health will set up a worker profile for the therapist in the EMR and provide a device for documenting client care in Adara’s EMR system as well as corresponding equipment to run device.
4. Adara Home Health staff will facilitate the orientation through the narrated contract therapy power point created by Adara Home Health and documentation training in the EMR system and complete the orientation training guide.
5. The branch office will provide the branch management contact information to the therapists and review contact expectations.
6. The branch office will collect the information required on each therapist per the New Contractor Checklist and include in the contractor’s file.
