What is nurse delegation?
Nurse delegation is a process where a licensed Registered Nurse assesses, trains, and authorizes qualified caregivers to perform specific nursing tasks in accordance with Washington State regulations and physician orders. The RN remains responsible for oversight and ongoing evaluation.
Who can receive nurse delegation services?
Nurse delegation services are provided to clients in Adult Family Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, Group Homes, and private residences when delegation is clinically appropriate and permitted by regulation.
How often are delegated skills reviewed?
Delegated skills are re-evaluated at least every 90 days, or sooner if there is a change in the client’s condition, caregiver performance, or care needs, as required by state regulations.
How do you handle insulin administration and blood glucose monitoring?
For insulin administration and blood glucose monitoring, we provide comprehensive training and implement focused oversight, including bi-weekly reviews during the initial period to ensure safety and competency.
Do you offer clinical assessments?
Yes. We conduct initial, pre-admission, annual, and change-of-condition clinical assessments. These assessments support care planning, regulatory compliance, and safe care delivery.
Are your services covered by insurance or Medicare?
Nurse delegation and clinical consulting services are typically private-pay services. While we contract with DSHS, Medicare and most private insurance plans generally do not cover nurse delegation fees.
Do you work with families as well as care facilities?
Yes. In addition to residential care providers, we also offer select nursing services and assessments for private clients and families, depending on care needs.
