The role of director of nursing and other nursing leader positions within a long-term care organization requires a different set of nursing skills, knowledge and mindset that of a leader. This course was designed to familiarize the DON and nurse leaders with what it means to be a leader as well as various federal and state regulations impacting long-term care facilities in Wisconsin. With nursing leadership being expected to help the individual facility comply and respond to regulators, this course will walk the nursing leader through the intimidating survey process from preparation for surveyors to writing a plan of correction. Because of the high customer expectations the environment in a long term care facility is challenging. To meet those demands it is essential for the long term care nursing leader to become savvy in clinical practice standards, human resource management and financial stewardship. Each three day session will encompass topics that will lead the attendee to gain knowledge in these areas. In addition the attendee will leave with a Director of Nursing Resource Manual that provides you with examples policies, procedures, and user-friendly resources. After the sessions the participants will be able to: Implement clinical practice standards to assure state/federal regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction. Identify and apply ways to improve staff accountability and retention while improving the ability to critically think and prevent re-hospitalization to position the facility positively in the new long term care continuum while improving staff satisfaction. Define and calculate PPDs and manage the nursing financial budget using a creative nursing structure to provide a nursing service the healthcare community expects. Apply Quality Assurance and Process Improvement (QAPI) and how to measure outcomes through the utilization of internal and external data to assure both customer and staff satisfaction.
