Overview
Psychiatric patients today are being released from acute care facilities much sooner than used to be the case. And like so many other patients, they are being released to home health care. Psychiatric Home Care addresses all the needs--clinical and administrative--of home health agencies and their nurses who are providing psychiatric home care. Covers all areas from creating a program assessment, psychiatric and pharmacologic care, to documentation and more.
