Review:
current and concise
My LTC facility is utilizing this book as the fondation for our procedures book. The material is current, easy to read and concise. I wrote a “Procedure Manual” statement in the front on the policy book that states this book is our Procedure Manual. I had to update the Policy book and was able to get rid of a lot of outdated procedures thanks to this great book!
