When it comes to nursing and doctors’ care, procedures, documentation, and much more, a nursing home environment differs greatly from that of an acute care facility. Irene Nobles, an LNC who specializes in long-term care cases, shares some of the most crucial differences.

One major difference is regulatory. Very different governmental standards apply to overall care in a nursing home. One reason for this is the heightened vulnerability of the patient population. One complexity is that regulations may vary from state to state, but federal regulations take priority.

Those working a nursing home case are far more likely to be faced with piles of paper records. Because many patients may be long-term residents, many of these records may be in storage. Paper records also make creative rewriting of incidents like falls possible, a situation which should put the LNC on alert.

Irene emphasizes the importance of asking for or researching supplementary information. These include daily staffing reports, patient complaints, call light records, and other forms of information that can provide a wealth of information. It’s also important to look up the nursing home’s CMS star rating, which is available to anyone on the CMS website. This site contains detailed information that can help the LNC

This podcast highlights how varied the work of an LNC can be and the many areas of expertise in which one can specialize. If you’re interested in a nursing-home specialty, you’ll get a solid beginning here.
