Book excerpt: A valuable resource for agencies seeking to attain or maintain Medicare certification, HOME HEALTH ADMINISTRATION MANUAL provides specific, authoritative guidance for the successful administration and management of a home health agency. This comprehensive policy manual is also useful for agencies seeking accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) or Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP). Divided into two sections, Section I includes policies related to organizational leadership and performance, financial management, control of information, patient and staff safety, and human resources. Section II includes policies related to patient rights, patient assessment and care, infection control, and continuity of care. All aspects of home health agency management and administration are encompassed in over 120 individual policies for comprehensive coverage. Each policy follows a consistent format for ease of use, and includes references, the purpose of the policy, areas of an agency that are affected, the policy statement, and the procedure for implementing the policy. The policies reference Medicare conditions of participation, national standards (JCAHO and CHAP), and federal mandates such as those from the CDC, to assist home health agencies seeking accreditation. To expedite verifiable documentation, all policies conclude with a section to be completed by the agency that specifies the persons responsible for approving and maintaining the policy, along with dates of approval, commencement, review, and revision. Policies related to emergency and disaster planning and preparedness are included, along with policies covering both patient and staff safety, to help agencies protect their patients and employees. Numerous practical and useful tools, such as sample forms and letters, job descriptions, and organizational charts, are included in the appendixes. Infectious disease protocols and prevention procedures are included in the appendixes to safeguard patients and home health providers. A glossary is provided to clarify important home health terms. The 3-ring binder format enables users of the Manual to easily modify the policies to meet their particular needs.

This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shifting demographic toward a "graying" population -- coupled with today's reality of managed care -- makes the need for high-quality, cost-effective psychiatric services within the nursing care setting more urgent than ever. As we increase the number of our years, it is also imperative that we enhance the quality of those years. The product of the American Psychiatric Association's (APA's) Council on Aging and its Committee on Long-Term Care and of the Elderly, the Manual of Nursing Home Practice for Psychiatrists stands out because it focuses on the "how" -- not the "why" -- of nursing home care.

Divided into six sections, this "how to" volume contains practical information readers can use right away, from getting reimbursed by insurance companies to handling nursing facility politics: Clinical -- History; evaluation and management of psychiatric problems in long-term care patients; an overview of the MDS; sexuality within the nursing home care setting Regulatory -- Introduction to the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987 (part of OBRA-87) and its implications for psychiatric care; details about the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI), which includes the MDS, the Resident Assessment Protocols (RAPs), and Utilization Guides specified in the State Operations Manual (SOP) Financial -- Documentation, reimbursement, and coding; what to look for when contracting with nursing homes Legal and ethical -- The dehumanizing effect of diagnostic labels and the ethical issues inherent in regulating daily schedules (e.g., bed, meal, and bath times); nursing home placement; competence and decision-making ability; comfort care for end-stage dementia; coping with Alzheimer's disease; and the role of caregivers Summary and Future Perspectives -- A detailed vision about how psychiatrists can improve the diagnosis and treatment of nursing home patients Appendixes and bibliography -- Staffing recommendations and assessment instruments Edited by a distinguished authority and former chair of the APA's Committee on Long-Term Care and Treatment of the Elderly, this comprehensive volume will appeal to a wide audience of professionals: from general psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists, to primary care physicians and residents.
