This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shifting demographic toward a "graying" population -- coupled with today's reality of managed care -- makes the need for high-quality, cost-effective psychiatric services within the nursing care setting more urgent than ever. As we increase the number of our years, it is also imperative that we enhance the quality of those years. The product of the American Psychiatric Association's (APA's) Council on Aging and its Committee on Long-Term Care and of the Elderly, the Manual of Nursing Home Practice for Psychiatrists stands out because it focuses on the "how" -- not the "why" -- of nursing home care. Of exceptional importance is its detailed discussion of the Minimum Data Set (MDS), a structured assessment required by both Medicare and Medicaid for all residents of skilled nursing facilities. Divided into six sections, this "how to" volume contains practical information readers can use right away, from getting reimbursed by insurance companies to handling nursing facility politics: Clinical -- History; evaluation and management of psychiatric problems in long-term care patients; an overview of the MDS; sexuality within the nursing home care setting Regulatory -- Introduction to the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987 (part of OBRA-87) and its implications for psychiatric care; details about the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI), which includes the MDS, the Resident Assessment Protocols (RAPs), and Utilization Guides specified in the State Operations Manual (SOP) Financial -- Documentation, reimbursement, and coding; what to look for when contracting with nursing homes Legal and ethical -- The dehumanizing effect of diagnostic labels and the ethical issues inherent in regulating daily schedules (e.g., bed, meal, and bath times); nursing home placement; competence and decision-making ability; comfort care for end-stage dementia; coping with Alzheimer's disease; and the role of caregivers Summary and Future Perspectives -- A detailed vision about how psychiatrists can improve the diagnosis and treatment of nursing home patients Appendixes and bibliography -- Staffing recommendations and assessment instruments Edited by a distinguished authority and former chair of the APA's Committee on Long-Term Care and Treatment of the Elderly, this comprehensive volume will appeal to a wide audience of professionals: from general psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and clinical nurse specialists, to primary care physicians and residents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one handy book, Psychiatry in the Nursing Home, every conceivable topic relating to the care of mentally ill or mentally retarded patients in nursing homes is covered. Due to the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA), which mandates that all states screen out psychiatric patients needing active treatment who may attempt admittance into nursing homes, many professionals’expertise is relied upon as the screenings have now begun to take effect. As nursing home patients have multiple physical and mental problems and those caring for them come from many different educational backgrounds, it becomes of utmost importance that all nursing home workers and administrators familiarize themselves with the gamut of illnesses and patients requiring treatment. This thorough book fits the needs of professionals working with nursing home clients. The seven major sections of the book provide a structure to examine a number of topics important to both newcomers in nursing home work and experienced professionals in the field. Nursing home development is surveyed, as are the people working in and inhabiting nursing homes; specific psychiatric entities are discussed, as are common behavioral problems prevalent in nursing homes but not corresponding to a specific mental illness; the medical/psychiatric interface characteristic of nursing homes is explored. Helpful tips on how to deal with red-tape forms and policy are provided in a section centered on legal and administrative aspects of nursing homes. A unique view of American nursing homes as contrasted with British nursing homes provides insightful treatment options for aging mental patients as does the view of the future of nursing homes, and the continuing need to make health care for the aged mentally ill as effective as possible. BACKCOVER COPY Here is the first full account of psychiatry in nursing homes. Dr. D. Peter Birkett provides a comprehensive survey of the available literature on the topic, as well as practical advice on the everyday problems that challenge medical staffs, mental health professionals, gerontology students, and administrators of geriatric services. Indispensable for making decisions about which patients can be managed in nursing homes, in justifying psychotropic medications, and in formulating plans of care for behavioral disturbance, Psychiatry in the Nursing Home covers the broad range of topics related to the care of mentally ill and mentally retarded patients in nursing homes. Among the timely and often controversial issues explored in the book are: the importance of pre-admission screening the impact of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA) the difficult family the use of physical restraints violence in the nursing home legal competence

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as demographic studies of the human population reveal a steep increase in the number of people living to a very old age, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of people residing in nursing homes. The majority of these residents are suffering from mental or neurobehavioral illnesses and are in need of physicians qualified to deal with the scope of geriatric psychiatry. This book presents a comprehensive survey of the present state of knowledge about psychiatric illness in the long-term care setting. Recognized experts in geriatrics and geriatric psychiatry provide practical recommendations for the evaluation and treatment of psychiatric disorders that complicate the care of nursing home residents. Among the topics covered in detail are the phenomenology, diagnosis, and therapy of depression, anxiety, agitation, sexual dysfunction, sleep disorders, substance abuse, and psychosis. Modern strategies for successful psychopharmacologic and psychotherapeutic measures are examined in detail, and special considerations related to dementia and delirium in the nursing home setting are discussed. Complementing these clinical guidelines are chapters specifically devoted to ethical and medicolegal issues, as well as the special needs of nursing home residents with mental retardation. All professionals in the geriatric mental health field, including internists, family practitioners, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, gerontologists, and social workers, will find this book invaluable.

Book excerpt: "By 1987, elderly patients comprised nearly one-fifth of all residents of state and county mental hospitals. During the past three decades, the deinstitutionalization movement has profoundly altered the care of elderly patients in state and county mental hospitals. In this task force report, leaders in the fields of geriatrics and long-term care present an overview of state-run mental hospitals. This report recommends the establishment of efficient, high-quality, and appropriately targeted state mental hospital services for elderly patients that will lead to the development of a comprehensive psychogeriatric care system." "State Mental Hospitals and the Elderly presents a review of the history and current status of care of elderly patients, the barriers that exist to improving psychogeriatric services, paradigms of psychogeriatric inpatient care, the role state hospitals play in the care of mentally ill elderly patients, the responsibilities of state mental hospitals for elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, training opportunities at state hospitals for residents and fellows in geriatric psychiatry, and recommendations for action needed to improve geriatric care for elderly patients."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most complete book to date concerning the institutionalized care of the mentally ill elderly. A compassionate, comprehensive portrayal of the problems of caring for older persons by family members and nursing home staff. Essential reading for all those working with the elderly." --Bertram J. Cohler, Committee on Human Development, University of Chicago "The real strength of this book lies in its initial conceptualization of the nursing home as a community with a community's complexity of forces working both for and counter to the best interests of its members...contrasting the traditional view that the institution is the enemy of its residents." --M. Powell Lawton, Director of Research, Philadelphia Geriatric Center "This eminently readable book meets a long-standing need in the field of mental health, reflected in the fact that many nursing home residents suffer mental and emotional problems not infrequently the cause of their placement. Rooted solidly in theory, research, and clinical evidence, yet with a clear eye to practical applications, this excellent book will appeal to scholars, educators, students, administers, consultants, and practitioners." --Barbara Silverstone, Executive Director, The Lighthouse "This book come out at the right time in our return to a national discussion of the mental health needs of older adults. Scholarly in breadth and thoroughness, the authors draw on their wealth of practical experience to edify topics on the nursing home industry and its community of caregivers, families, and residents, and on strategies for mental health consultation, assessment, and intervention. It is thoughtfully written." --Carrell Wendland, Ph.D., President Beverly Foundation
