Annotation

Holistic Nursing Home Management in the Era of Change: A Pathway to a Sustainable Nursing Home Quality discusses different topics about nursing homes, advocating the holistic management approach, meaning that all parts of a human person or organization especially in nursing homes must be integrally managed as one whole. Originating from the medical and nursing traditions, the holistic management advocacy is attributed to the wisdom of Hippocrates, Florence Nightingale, and Allan Savory in business practices. The book provides our readers important insights into the evolutions, misgivings and progress that have occurred within the nursing home industry, dating back to the 10th century Almshouse/Poorhouse. Nursing home practitioners will assimilate the fundamentals and framework of change needed in leadership, managerial, supervisory, technical, clinical functions and staffing affecting each resident's needs concept and managing nursing homes as a business in the holistic perspective, to achieve nursing home quality and LTC regulatory compliance.
