About this ebook

The 7th Edition of Nursing Home Administration by James E. Allen is structured around the updated NAB (National Association of Boards of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators) Domains of Practice. It serves as a comprehensive roadmap for mastering the regulatory, clinical, and operational requirements needed to pass the national licensing exam and successfully run a long-term care facility. [1, 2, 3]

The text covers the following primary topics and updates:

Core Administrative Domains

- Human Resources: Focuses on personnel management, including recruiting, training, evaluating, employee compensation, disciplining staff, and techniques to lower overall employee turnover. [1, 2, 3]
- Finance and Business: Details the logistics of operating healthcare facility systems, risk management, budget creation, cost reporting, revenue cycle management, and contractual agreements. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Environment: Covers facility maintenance, life safety code inspection processes, data security, and physical plant safety protocols. [1]
- Resident and Patient Care: Evaluates clinical care methods, the basic principles of nursing and social work, and the integration of person-centered care models designed to prioritize resident dignity. [1, 2]
