Long-Term Care: Managing Across the Continuum, Fourth Edition is an ideal introduction to management in this dynamic industry. Concise, yet complete, it defines the various segments of the system, describes how the system developed to its current state, compares it to an ideal system, and projects future trends. Adopted as a reference for the national licensing examination prepared by the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB), this book covers the full continuum of long-term care. The Fourth Edition is a comprehensive revision reflecting the changes in regulations, financing methods, forms of service delivery, and management methods in this dynamic field. The Fourth Edition offers a new chapter addressing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), providing a solid foundation for understanding it and any future developments, as they impact long-term care. All other chapters have been updated with the most current information in care delivery and regulations.
