8th Edition
by Michael Mileski (Author), Rebecca McClay (Author)
Now in its eighth edition, Nursing Home Administration
remains the authoritative textbook detailing the nursing facility
administrator role, what they do, how they think, and how they lead. By
breaking down the art of administration into its basic, need-to-know
tasks―forecasting, planning, organizing, staffing, directing,
controlling quality, innovating, and marketing―this text provides the
essential context for managing and leading nursing homes and skilled
nursing facilities. Thoroughly updated to include the four domains of
practice as put forth by the National Association of Long-Term Care
Administrator Boards (NAB) for 2022 licensure examination and beyond,
this textbook is complete with essential context for the domains and
associated competencies to better prepare students for the required NAB
examination.
With revised sections addressing new
federal regulations and laws affecting the field, best practices in
residential care, and refreshed examples and cases, this text continues
to set students up for success in working as a nursing facility
administrator. Updated sections address changes within the residential
care continuum, provide further information on patient-driven payment
models and value-based care, and inform current practices for marketing
and controlling quality within the long-term care facility. Chapter
boxes reflect common pitfalls in practice while real-life case studies
and critical thinking exercises, including a "What Do I Do Now?" section
that concludes all chapters, encourage students to consider challenges
they may experience in the field. In addition to updated domains of
practice―care, services, and supports; operations; environmental and
quality; and leadership and strategy―the book describes how core
components fit together.
