What would you do

About the work
Walk me through a home evaluation for a patient referred after a stroke with swallowing problems.

What they are checking: Whether they can set meaningful functional goals and support communication when words are hard.
The posting asks for someone technologically proficient. How do you handle electronic documentation on the road?
What they are checking: Whether they can chart accurately and on time using mobile tools, since visits must be documented for billing.
