Long Term Care or Psoriasis

Long-Term Care: Managing Across the Continuum

Author: John R Pratt

Even as you read this, the field of long—term care is undergoing a rapid redefinition of both its institutional and community—based providers.

Public policy makers are working to add much—needed alternative modes of delivery to traditional long—term institutional care. New rules, new levels, and new kinds of care are constantly being created. As a result, tomorrow's long—term care administrators will have to be flexible enough to adapt to different management settings, and to oversee an ever—expanding variety of services. They will need the skills essential to managing larger organizations, likely to include multiple aspects of long—term care. Long—Term Care: Managing Across the Continuum provides a solid, realistic foundation on which to build your expertise. You will understand the differences and similarities among the many long—term care services... how the various segments of long—term care fit together to form an overall system ...and the skills you will need to succeed in that system in the future.
