Description
 So…just how do we write the care plan? Which method should we use? What do surveyors actually look for when evaluating care plans? Are there any “red flags” that will draw their attention? And shouldn’t we be writing care plans that actually “make sense” to the professionals providing the care? Attendees will learn the answers to all of these questions and much more! They will also be able to identify federal requirements, surveyors’ expectations, and specific care issues as they relate to the care plan process. Care team members will learn how each discipline can truly assist in the development of a “resident-centered” care plan that is designed to meet specific care/medical issues, as well as help the resident “attain or maintain their highest practicable psychosocial well-being.”
