Product Description

Home Care Nursing: Using an Accreditation Approach, is an overview of homecare from the time a patient enters the homecare system to when the patient is discharged. You can be confident that Home Care Nursing offers you the solid foundation needed in home care, as the entire book is based on the categories of the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). The material is organized in two parts. Part I: Clinical Operations and Client Care, covers history of homecare and hospice, then progresses to the homecare visit, including such topics as safety, infection control, and client and family education. Part II, Administrative Operations, addresses those topics which are the nuts and bolts of a successful homecare organization. It begins with leadership and progresses to topics related to legal and ethical issues, quality improvement, and technology.
