Handbook of Home Health Standards and Documentation Guidelines for Reimbursement, 2nd Edition

This second edition of this handbook has been completely updated and expanded to include new clinical topics such as Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer and cystic fibrosis. For each of the 60 clinical problems included, detailed standards and documentation guides including ICD 9 (diagnostic) codes, NANDA-approved nursing diagnoses, and service skills (including the skills of the multidisciplinary health care team) are provided. An entirely new section on patient, family, and caregiver education needs has also been added to each clinical problem.
