Care Letters


Keeping you current with information you can use

 

Monthly, the Clinical Education department produces an informative packet of learning materials that features a range of subjects relative to the latest practices in nursing care, medication management protocols and new regulatory expectations to valuable nursing leadership tips.  Included are pertinent professional articles, policies and procedures, ready-to-use assessment and tracking forms, as well as valuable advise from our team of long term care consultants on ways for your nurses to perform their best every day. Each Care Letter is designed to provide a quick and easy “educational moment” with your staff.
