The long-term care field is experiencing fundamental changes in medical knowledge, clinical complexity, social and legal requirements, demographics and patient mix, reimbursement policies, and care settings. There are over 17,000 nursing homes across the United States, with approximately 1.5 million Americans residing in a nursing home on an average day. Of the nursing home population, 192 out of 1000 residents are 85 years and older, have 3 to 5 medical diagnoses, take 7 medications, and require assistance with 3 or more activities of daily living.

This is THE book for medical directors and nursing home clinical staff, on the clinical, administrative, and regulatory issues that arise virtually every day in nursing homes and hospices.
