Workflow Deep-Dive

Each phase, broken into the moves that matter.

What experienced delegators actually do at each stage — the practical decisions, not the textbook summary.

01 · Intake

Gather the right information once.

  • Collect referral info, demographics, insurance, and care setting
  • Confirm scope match before scheduling the first visit
  • Set expectations with the caregiver team in writing
02 · Assessment

Walk the home with a structured eye.

  • Run the standardized nursing assessment from your template
  • Document environment, supports, and risk factors
  • Identify candidate tasks for delegation with rationale
03 · Delegation

Train caregivers — document everything.

  • Demonstrate, teach-back, and verify competency for each task
  • Complete the delegation form and caregiver task sheet
  • Leave instructions and emergency contacts visible in the home
04 · Documentation

Same format, every visit.

  • Use the SOAP visit-note template within 24 hours
  • Update the client folder with any changes in condition
  • Flag follow-ups in your caseload tracker, not your memory
05 · Follow-up & Re-evaluation

Predictable cadence prevents surprises.

  • Schedule re-evaluations on calendar, not when you remember
  • Reassess delegation appropriateness at each cadence
  • Close the loop with caregivers and document the conversation

Best Practices

Lessons learned, so you don't have to.

Do

  • Run the same intake every time — variability is the enemy of confidence
  • Document within 24 hours, not at the end of the week
  • Calendar your re-evaluations the moment a client is onboarded
  • Build your caseload tracker on day one, not when it gets messy

Don't

  • Don't rely on memory for follow-ups or due dates
  • Don't customize your workflow per client — customize the content, not the process
  • Don't skip documenting caregiver competency demonstrations
  • Don't wait for overwhelm to set up your file structure
