Handbook of Geriatric Care Management

Handbook of Geriatric Care Management addresses the various settings in which geriatric care managers (GCMs) work, including hospitals, long-term care, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation hospitals; explains the credentialing process and the many credentialing choices; covers clinical, spiritual, and ethical issues, including dementia, depression, and difficult families; includes sample forms and letters that can be adapted or used as-is; includes case examples to demonstrate actual applications. This comprehensive reference builds from basic to sophisticated topics on issues such as what geriatric care management is; duties and procedures; guidelines for setting up a GCM practice whether non-profit or for-profit independently or as part of a larger health care delivery system or business; key elements for managing a mature practice; and the future of geriatric care management.Cathy Cress is the author of 'Handbook of Geriatric Care Management' with ISBN 9780763737740 and ISBN 0763737747.
