Improving the Quality of Care in Nursing Homes pdf
Description

The landmark Nursing Home Care Reform Act of 1987 mandated basic standards of care to ensure the physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of residents. Yet little has changed since it was enacted. High-quality facilities continue to provide good care, while poorly operated ones remain substandard. This volume offers an evidence-based framework for improving care in nursing homes.Taking a broad perspective, the authors review the history, development, and current state of care in nursing homes. After defining the concept of "quality" in the home, they assess an array of qualitative and quantitative statistical data to identify inconsistencies found among U.S. facilities. Individual chapters focus on varied aspects of care and the ways in which it is measured, including a thorough review of such key mechanisms as the Online Survey, Certification, and Reporting (OSCAR) data network and the Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) model. The book also examines specific factors related to measu Download Improving the Quality of Care in Nursing Homes for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve

Nursing Workforce Development pdf
Description

Winner of an AJN Book of the Year Award! This book looks at "long-term" fixes being developed in response to the nursing shortage, through regional collaborations of government, health care institutions, and schools of nursing. It is based on the premise that factors around the supply and demand for nurses are locally based, since nurses tend to be educated and work in the same geographic area. Successful strategies implemented in many states are provided as "exemplars" throughout the book, which include collaborations between service and education to provide greater educational mobility and programs for workplace satisfaction. The book grew out of the Robert Wood Johnson-funded Colleagues in Caring Project, which was created to help mobilize regional cooperation around nursing workforce issues. The book includes practical information on:

Infection Control for Nursing Homes pdf
Description

When it comes to infection control, compliance is difficult, but the stakes are high. It's one of the biggest challenges your facility faces: Under F-Tag #441, nursing homes must "establish and maintain an infection control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection." With residents frail and at a greater risk for infections such as MSRA, c. difficile, urinary tract infections (UTI), and, according to the Centers for Disease Control, pandemic flu virus, an effective infection control program is crucial--yet nursing homes often lack the resources to identify and control infection. Introducing Infection Control for Nursing Homes: A Guide to Government Standards--the guidance, policies, and staff training tools your facility needs to prevent the spread of infection and avoid one of the top survey deficiencies in the industry.

Code Green pdf
Description

We are on the verge of the nation's worst nursing shortage in history. Dedicated nurses are leaving hospitals in droves, and there are not enough new recruits to the profession to meet demand. Even hospitals that were once very highly regarded for the quality of their nursing care, such as Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, now struggle to fill vacant positions. What happened?Dana Beth Weinberg argues that hospital restructuring in the 1990s is to blame. In their attempts to retain profit margins or even just to stay afloat, hospitals adopted a common set of practices to cut costs and increase revenues. Many strategies squeezed greater productivity out of nurses and other hospital workers. Nurses' workloads increased to the point that even the most skilled nurses questioned whether they could provide minimal, safe care to patients. As hospitals hemorrhaged money, it seemed that no one-not hospital administrators, not doctors-felt they could afford to listen to nurses.Throug Download Code Green for free via rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared, dropBox, uploading, fileserve
