The 485 is the order set
Goals, frequencies, and discipline orders have to match what was said in the home. A clinic SOAP cannot be pasted onto a plan of care.

Home Health
An AI scribe built for home health documentation
OASIS-adjacent narratives, 485-style plans of care, and F2F certifications — drafted from the home visit so the next RN is not reconstructing yesterday’s wound and meds.
The problem
What slows home health down
Face-to-face narratives make or break payment
Homebound status and skilled need have to be in the physician narrative. ‘Needs nursing’ is a denial.
Falls and med changes happen between visits
Incident reports and physician/pharmacy coordination notes are separate documents. Losing them in the visit narrative hides risk.
