Focus on Prevention and Remediation Part 2 - Using Management Communication to Improve Management Effectiveness* Risk Management, Disaster Planning, and Sexual Harassment In one day you review and focus on areas that typically need attention because they are “preventive” in nature rather then of immediate urgency. Yet these issues must be attended to. NHAs should make every effort to attend these programs. Why? Because, as some NHAs have put it, “Of course, I’ll never do the work of that department. But how can I mentor them, fairly evaluate their job performance and give them the resources they need to succeed if I don’t have this level of information!” For further information call 215-836-2383.

Federal Portion — Second of Two Days Beverages and Danish Financial Management Environmental Management Noon Lunch 1:00 Governance and Management 5:00 Adjourn 8:00 8:30 Introduction to Nursing Home Administration is dedicated to the memory of Harry D. Karpeles, PhD. Dr. Karpeles saw the need for a program such as this several years before various states started to require one. In fact, the Pennsylvania requirement reflects nearly all of the original Introduction to Nursing Home Administration model. Following his “retirement”, Dr. Karpeles served as a member of our faculty for several years, demonstrating that even with limited abilities to perform Activities of Daily Living one can live an intellectually stimulating and generally productive life in a “self-provided”, non-institutional environment. The Federal review materials are regularly updated to reflect the changing focus of the national exam; the State review materials also are regularly adjusted to reflect any changes in the Pennsylvania Rules and Regulations and the availability of materials on the web. During the program you review theoretical, philosophical and practical aspects of long term care administration as related to each part of the examination. Also, you take practice tests which contain sample questions of the type and style of those used in the exam. You receive practice tests which you can take home: one for the Federal Portion and one for the State Portion. (You may purchase additional Federal Portion practice exams while at the seminar.) Not only do you review specific test questions, but also you analyze thought processes behind the test items and their “correct” answers; this will be helpful in preparing you to answer a wide range of test questions. ~DEDICATION~ State Portion for Pennsylvania — One Day Sign-in; beverages and Danish Background/Overview Facts and information you need to know in preparation for the State Portion of the exam.
