Riassunto

Conveniently organized to correspond with LaFleur Brooks' and Gillingham's Health Unit Coordinating, 5th Edition, this innovative new pocket guide presents essential information in a highly portable and easy-to-access format. Much of the information is presented in bulleted or numbered lists, to emphasize key points or highlight guidelines for carrying out vital tasks. Procedures give step-by-step instructions for performing duties such as patient admission, discharge, transfer, and more. In addition, this handbook contains such practical features as the full glossary from Health Unit Coordinating, 5th Edition as well as the Clinical Evaluation Record from the Skills Practice Manual to accompany Health Unit Coordinating. Other useful appendices include abbreviations frequently used in doctors' orders, word elements, common medical terms, and personal time management pages. It's an invaluable aid to students, as well as those already employed in health unit coordinating.
