I am looking for cheat sheets/guidelines for setting up policy and procedure for inpatient related and non related as well as respite. specifically the "how to" stuff. What orders are the RNs reponsible to write and how to sign these orders ie.( T.O/V.O/Nursing order). If anyone can help on this I would greatly appreciate it. THANK YOU!

are you talking exclusively about nsg services?
if not, it would require a book's load of contents.

there is so much in setting up a free standing hospice:

a partial list would include legal authorities, compliance, licensures, eligibility, governing bodies, pts rights, pts records, all the services including but not ltd to physician, nsg, social work, pastoral, bereavement, pharmaceutical..

if you are asking just about the nsg part, i'll try and expound on it more.

let me know.

I guess I am just looking for the nursing part. I need to be able to pull out the policy and procedure for inpatient respite (lets say) and give it to the other case manager to use as a guideline. When you admit someone respite do this.... inpatient related do this.... I know things will be different with each case to a point but there has to be certain regs to follow. I am just pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.
