Doody's Review
"The manual is well written, well organized, and a definitive resource for home healthcare providers. It provides a nice framework for acquiring and sustaining accreditation from the Joint Commission as well as tips and tools focused on monitoring and maintaining compliance while rendering safe patient-centered care. Frequent updates to the manual are justifiable due the continuous changes and medical advances in healthcare."
