Effective Management of Long-Term Care Facilities
Author: Douglas A. SinghOVERVIEW
Effective Management of Long-Term Care Facilities, Fourth Edition examines the complex operations of the long-term care facility and offers critical skills to current and future long-term care administrators for delivering quality, cost-effective services.
An excellent resource for both new and seasoned long-term care managers, this logically organized text begins with an understanding of what long-term care is and why it’s an integral part of the health care delivery system. It moves on to explore the legal and regulatory parameters and payment constraints within which long-term care facilities must be managed; each of the main functional departments that administrators must understand and oversee; and, effective governance and leadership and management of human resources, marketing and quality—much of which is unique to nursing home administration. The final section of the book offers case studies to simulate situations that the administrator is likely to encounter in practice.
