The TA Process for Heath Care issues:

1. The team comes up with the idea that a client may benefit from performing a particular healthcare task. This could include the cleaning of a CPAP, self-administration of medication, performing own CBG testing, nail care, etc.

2. The RN will perform an assessment to determine if this can be done safely and effectively, without detriment to the client’s health.

3. The BVS1 and the nurse will write the TA. If this is a client that has a Nurse/Client relationship in place that relates to the issue in question then the nurse will take the lead in authoring the forms. If no Nurse/Client relationship is in place then this will fall to the BVS1 and the nurse will review it.

4. When the TA documents are complete then the nurse will provide the initial training to the client and the BVS1.

5. The BVS1 will then train the floor staff.

6. The BVS1 will compile the data and it will be reviewed by the nurse each month.

TA Documentation

The client will do the recording on the MAR or TAR. The staff does not need to initial the MAR/TAR as they are documenting their portion of this process on the Program Data Sheet. Under the direction for the medication on the MAR/TAR put Self Administered Medication/Treatment in brackets. During the Healthcare Task Assessment if it is determined that the client is not able to perform the task of documentation then an alternate plan will be outlined in the Program Cover Sheet.
