Nursing Assessment, Plan of Care, and Patient Education (Book)

Nursing Assessment, Plan of Care, and Patient Education

This valuable book and CD-ROM set is exclusively dedicated to the fundamental elements of patient care:

1. the initial nursing assessment
2. the plan of care
3. education of patient and family

These three elements are the foundation for quality care-giving and an integral part of tracer methodology.

Concentrate on the foundation of patient care to improve your survey results

Since patient tracers make up about 80% of the Joint Commission survey process, it is absolutely critical that hospitals do everything they can to improve the processes that support them. Without a properly functioning nursing assessment, care plan, and education plan, patient care breaks down. CMS surveyors are also paying close attention to these three areas through chart reviews.

Imagine a surveyor looking at an incomplete nursing assessment, not finding a care plan, or realizing that education was skipped over. Just one patient missing one of these elements can generate plenty of surveyor findings. That’s why hospitals are beginning to focus their attention on these fundamental elements in order to demonstrate satisfactory patient care on survey day. Nursing Assessment, Care Plan, and Patient Education: The Foundation of Patient Care will show you how to do just that and more.

Learn the secrets of success from hospitals that are doing it right

With Nursing Assessment, Care Plan, and Patient Education you’ll benefit from first-person, in-depth case studies from your colleagues working in facilities that have mastered each of these three elements and aced real and mock surveys. These real-life experiences offer important insights from nurses in the field into what really works.

These tools will help your facility’s day-to-day operations, improve the quality of care you provide, and keep your organization survey-ready for whenever The Joint Commission shows up.
