You don't have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to policies and procedures!

 

Whether you need a brand new policy, or just to revamp a tired old one, this book can do it for you. Each well-written, user-friendly policy and procedure contains the best practice information.

 

This comprehensive manual and CD-ROM set provides all of the most critical long-term care policies and procedures, including those for corporate compliance, security, quality assurance, and staffing guidelines.

 

These policies are very easy to customize for your every need. Every policy and procedure featured in the 350-page manual is also located on the companion CD-ROM. This gives you the ability to tailor the language to the specific needs of your organization. Changes in federal, state, or local laws? Simply go into the file and update your policies as necessary. It couldn't be easier.

 

You can view the full table of contents here. This book and CD set provides the written policies you need - and surveyors are looking for. With detailed policies written for 30 vital areas of nursing home management for less than $5 a section, it's a must-have. You can also view a sample policy here. The provided policies cover these areas:

  • Administration

  • Organization and management

  • Corporate compliance

  • Human resources

  • Admission, transfer, and discharge

  • Resident rights

  • Quality of life

  • Comprehensive assessments

  • Professional standard of care

  • Dietary services

  • Physician services and medical director

  • Specialized rehabilitative services

  • Nursing services

  • Pharmacy services

  • Social service

  • Ancillary services

  • Activities program

  • Physical environment

  • Quality assessment and assurance

  • Abuse prevention

  • Physical and chemical restraints

  • Pressure sores

  • Incontinence and catheterization

  • Infection control

  • Mental and psychosocial functioning

  • Medical records

  • Managing resident personal funds

  • Required notifications

  • Safety and disaster planning

  • Advanced directives

With clear, written procedures on hand, your SNF will benefit from improved quality of care and more efficient operations. You can rest assured your facility is meeting all regulatory requirements and your employees have the guidance they need to stay in compliance.

If you've ever tried to write a policy and procedure from scratch, you know how time-consuming that can be. But retooling an insufficient policy from another facility can cause you just as much frustration. And when surveyors ask for a policy, you don't want to come up empty-handed. That's why you need 30 Essential Policies and Procedures for Long-Term Care.
