From the Inside Flap

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 service—including adult day care and nursing homes—this 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. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Blah, March 28, 2004

This review is from: The Complete Care Plan Manual for Long-Term Care, Revised Edition (Spiral-bound)

I am very disappointed in this book. It has a lot of theory and analysis, but not the hands on care planning ideas I was looking for. Way overpriced for the amount of information in it!!

This review is from: The Complete Care Plan Manual for Long-Term Care, Revised Edition (Spiral-bound)

This is the perfect manual for developing long-term care plans. While it is not--as the description indicates-"care-plan-in-a-can", it is so much better. It guided me through the process of developing the best plan for my organization. If you are willing to do the work and put the thought in to it, this book will help you develop your ideal plan.
