New book gives nurses and caregivers a proper reference for use in medical facilities
Washington (Vocus/PRWEB) January 13, 2011
Healthcare professionals and sisters Nora J. Wellington and Alicia A. Creighton-Allen noticed that when it came to having all the necessary documents to help healthcare staffs determine the level of their regulatory compliance within their facility there didn’t exist a singular guide to give all the information necessary in one place.
Detailed in the area of 42 CFR §§483.10–20 (Resident Rights through Resident Assessments), The Fundamentals of Quality for Long Term Care: Part I(published by AuthorHouse) informs healthcare professionals of applicable F-Tags (jargon for federal regulations), along with a detailing of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Interpretive Guidelines and Guidance to Surveyors.
The Fundamentals of Quality for Long Term Care is a comprehensive monitoring tool for all medical disciplines. It covers the Federal Long Term Care Regulations 42 CFR §483.10 Resident Rights through §483.20 Resident Assessment.
“As Nursing Facility/Skilled Nursing Facility administrator, I developed and designed monitoring tools to help staffs determine compliance with regulations,” says Wellington. “Their appreciation motivated me to continue to exercise my passion for sharing my knowledge with all levels of the staff.”
A practical tool, The Fundamentals of Quality for Long Term Care is perfect for monitoring purposes and for quick reference. The Fundamentals of Quality for Long Term Care allows the healthcare professionals on an Interdisciplinary Team to maintain awareness of the expectations of federal and state surveyors and will sharpen the focus on quality of care and quality of life for residents/patients in their facilities.
