Learn what you need as a home health professional to effectively treat
and manage your patient's care while teaching them how to successfully
manage their medical conditions at home! The first part of the book,
"Staff Education," will help orientate professionals to the specialty of
home health care and can be used as a basic introduction.
The majority of the book is centered on patient education--what the
patient needs to know to successfully manage their medical condition or
situation at home. In order for the patient to achieve maximum wellness,
they must understand their medical condition and the treatment
necessary to manage it. The teaching guides will empower **
home health professionals with the tools they need to spur their patient
on to wellness.
The handouts are written in a concise, easy-to-understand format **
on the most common diseases, diets and medical procedures.
Each disease handout includes the definition of the disease, risk factors, common
signs and symptoms, disease management, and possible complications. A space is
provided on each handout for teaching the medication used for that disease.
With the help of this book, you can be sure that you are providing
your staff and patients with the tools that they need to be successful in
home health care!
