June 14, 2023 Washington, DC — A longstanding staple of care for providers working in a range of settings, the LeadingAge Clinical Procedure Manual (CPM), now in its 22nd edition, is available for order in both print and digital formats.
The comprehensive manual is a must-have tool for home and community-based and other providers committed to high quality care. In two volumes, the CPM delivers up-to-date clinical procedures across 20 sections covering topics ranging from behavioral health, medications and wound care to activities of daily living and pediatric care. Providers depend on it to ensure the consistent application of evidence and reliable performance of procedures by every clinician, every time.
“The CPM is the backbone of clinical practice,” said Kate Rolf, president and CEO, Nascentia Health. “Regulations, best practices, and technologies are not static; this handbook helps us stay abreast of that change. Our staff, who work in communities large and small, rural and urban, depend on it as they would a trusted colleague. It’s a worthwhile investment.”
The latest edition, which has been reviewed by contributing editors representing a diverse, interdisciplinary group of professionals, integrates recommended tools directly into procedures and emphasizes client and family education. It details step-by-step methods, for over 300 clinical procedures, augmented by critical thinking prompts and follow-up suggestions specific to each procedure. This year’s manual pays special attention to infection control and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Purchases in quantities of 5 or more manuals are eligible for a 10% discount off the published rates.
“Providers committed to delivering best-in-class care need a reliable guide. The Clinical Procedures Manual’s origins are deeply rooted in home health and hospice settings, and, over two decades, its reputation and influence has spread. We’re proud to offer this newest edition,” said Katie Smith Sloan, president and CEO, LeadingAge, the association of nonprofit providers of aging services.
