Vnsw will never deny services to anyone because of an inability to pay or anticipated high service utilization and cost. Vnsw will never abandon a patient while he/she is still in need of services - even if the their insurance company refuses to pay for care. Our organization has an outstanding track record on this issue and will not waiver from this commitment. Our average utilization of services significantly exceeds the state and national average. When it comes to patient care, our clinicians are given a single directive: "provide the patient with what the patient needs to improve his/her medical condition." cost management, other than adequate productivity, is not our clinicians' responsibility. It is management's responsibility. Vnsw professionals providing patient care services include registered nurses, certified home health aides, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and social workers. Caring for the sick or disabled in conjunction with the patient's physician, the nurses and therapists also demonstrate, teach and supervise the care provided by home health aides, family members and other caregivers, as necessary.”
