Home Health Therapy Predictive Guidelines Training
For five months, Home Health Therapists have been working in partnership with Kaiser to develop a Predictive Guidelines Training. We are pleased to announce the completion of the training video and guide which is intended to reduce work assignments that push many home health therapists beyond an 8-hour workday. The training should be reviewed by labor-management teams in local offices and used as an opening to discuss how much time visits and other tasks take.Â

Does Kaiser Really Think We are Heroes? Take Action and Let the CEO Know!

Now, Kaiser is trying to short-change thousands of our coalition sisters and brothers, including ESC members, and penalize them for not meeting PSP goals they could not meet during a pandemic — take action today and tell Kaiser CEO Greg Adams that we will not stand for this!
