Series description

This series will offer insights for an interdisciplinary team of health care professionals (HCPs) who deliver care for residents in nursing homes and in long-term care facilities. The goal is to improve interdisciplinary collaboration, communication, assessment skills and interventions that will aid in building provider, staff and patient confidence in the ability to evaluate and treat patients appropriately, and to help mitigate risk and enable development of a better care plan for optimal outcomes.
