Managing Quality and Safety in Long-Term Care sets a precedent as the premier textbook for future leaders in long-term care designed to provide them with the tools and evidence-based strategies needed to successfully implement quality and safety protocols in senior living facilities. Each chapter extensively reviews quality and safety issues in long-term care and emphasizes what managers must know to both enhance quality and safety performance and retain a skilled long-term care workforce. Additionally, the text highlights the key performance indicators that future long-term care leaders can apply to better react to the quickly evolving issues they will encounter in practice. Detailed case studies throughout the book provide examples from effective and ineffective facilities, and specific challenges for improving or maintaining best practices.
The text innovatively explores the root causes of quality and safety issues in long-term care, integrating cutting-edge, evidence-based research in practical applications. It distills these insights into actionable recommendations aimed at helping healthcare administrators and professionals improve quality and safety in long-term care through their decision-making, strategic planning, data gathering, and forecasting. Chapters contain important learning objectives, take-home points, tools for further learning, and real-world examples. Managing Quality and Safety in Long-Term Care imparts the science and art of managing quality and safety in senior living facilities, critical for students in long-term care administration, healthcare administration and management, gerontology, public health, and related fields. Additionally, it serves as a crucial resource for anyone seeking licensure from the National Board of Long-term Care Administrators (the NAB). Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
