Not a "care-plan-in-a-can," this revised edition updates the classic toolkit for developing plans in the field of long-term care that meet HCFA's increasingly complicated standards, make the most of staff time, and ensure the quality of individualized care. Essential for all types of serviceincluding adult day care and nursing homesthis hands-on workbook's simple format shows how to create care plans that address patient-centered outcomes and offers varied approaches to achieving goals from the many perspectives of a multidisciplinary team. The Complete Care Plan Manual for Long-Term Care, Revised Edition, features the most recently published NANDA listing of nursing diagnoses and offers the flexibility needed to meet JCAHO requirements. This practical handbook also correlates with MDS 2.0 and the Resident Assessment Protocol, which HCFA mandates for each resident in a Medicare/Medicaid-certified facility.
