This form helps solve the problem of ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to provide high-quality care to patients. It is typically used by registered nurses (RNs) and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) who need to document their compliance with Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations.
The form requires providers to demonstrate their commitment to delivering comprehensive nursing services by providing a written plan and schedule for completing comprehensive assessments, as well as documenting delegation decisions. Key features of the form include requirements for RNs to make delegation decisions, supervise LVNs, and evaluate competency of staff on performing nursing tasks. Additionally, the form emphasizes the importance of monitoring potential or actual health conditions and justifying nursing units on individual plans of care.
