Principles of Long-Term Health Care Administration
Author: Peter J Buttaro
This essential text is organized according to the five "domains of practice" established by the NAB licensure: Resident care, personnel, financial, environmental, and governance & management. In comprehensible language it presents the complex and highly regulated business of long-term care, including Medicare and Medicaid requirements relating to the physical plant, resident care, and glossaries of medical, financials and personnel terminology.

With this book the author offers information about the core principles of long-term care administration. The purpose is to explain basic concepts and information essential to long-term care administration. The training materials are to be used by long-term care administrators. Areas associated with long-term management are covered, such as regulations, finance, staffing, personnel, and medical care. This book is written in an easy-to-follow format and is referenced well for the original regulatory sources. Principles of management including personnel management, theories of management, and finance are very well covered. The chapter on medical care in the nursing home is very dated, but since the intended audience of the book would not be responsible for medical management, this may not be of great consequence. This is a basic review of principles relative to long-term care. The format is easy to follow and this would be a useful reference text or review text for those in long-term care administration.

Not how to stay in a management position for a long time, but a study guide to help nurses who are training to be administrators in long- term health care pass the National Association of Boards of Examiners licensing examination. Attorney and health-care administration educator Buttaro, with editorial help from his wife, organizes the text according to the five domains of practice established by the licensure: resident care, personnel, financial, environmental, and governance and management. In simple language he explains some of the complexities such as Medicare and Medicaid requirements relating to the physical plant and resident care. He includes topic-specific glossaries but does not indicate pronunciation. He says the work has been used for 25 years, but provides no information about earlier editions. Annotation c.
