Facility Study Outline

7. For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
Each student must visit a long-term care facility in his or her own
community. Students must create a list of facilities they would like to
visit and submit this to their instructor for approval before making
arrangements to conduct the visit. After receiving approval, students
should contact that facility in order to schedule their visit as soon as
possible.
Resource: Long-Term Care Facility Study Outline Grading Criteria
located on your student website
Use the Facility Study Form to record your observations of the facility.
Each team member will be required to submit this form with the final
Learning Team assignment.
Choose one facility, as a team, that you will use for your Long-Term
Care Facility Study project.
Write an outline detailing your plans for your facility study. You will
use this outline to develop your presentation due in Week Five. In your
outline, address the following:
· What facilities did your team members visit? Provide a brief
description of the facilities.
· Which facility did your team choose for the Learning Team
project? Why did you choose this facility?

8. · How do you plan to obtain the following information for your
facility study presentation?
Note: You do not need to answer the questions at this time. Instead, you
will focus on your plan for obtaining the appropriate information that
will be used in your final presentation.
o What are two state and two federal regulations that your facility must
adhere to?
o What licensure or accreditation does the facility currently hold? What
are some of the requirements for the facility to be granted this licensure
and accreditation?
o What types of reimbursement are available to this type of facility?
How does this differ from other long-term care facilities?
o How does public policy affect the facility’s financing and ability to
deliver services to patients?
o What is the role of the administrator and case manager in this
facility? How do their roles in this facility differ from the roles of
administrators and case managers in other facilities?
o What types and number of staff does this facility need? Explain the
rationale for this. How might these needs differ in facilities that attend to
different long-term care populations?
o How do current health care trends affect long-term care needs? How
will they affect your chosen facility?
Submit the outline as directed by your instructor.
Note: Because facilities are open to the public and should encourage
community relationships, students may visit a facility as an interested
observer, community resident, or fellow health care professional. If

9. facility staff members do not welcome this type of visit, this must be
noted on the checklist, as relationships with the outside world are
important aspects of quality of life for facility residents. Facilities are
available for visits on evenings and weekends, so this segment of the
assignment should not be a burden for students with outside
commitments.
