    Wesley Pines

    AGENCY PROJECT PRESENTATION

    Background
    Terry Townsend began working at Wesley pines as

    the Director of Social Services a number of years ago.


    Since then, there have been many changes in policies
    and lots of "implied" rules and regulations. It has
    been suggested by her that I update and revise the
    agencies policy handbook and the admission packets
    as my field agency project.

    Purpose
    This is to ensure that the information being provided

    to the residents and to the departments are is easily


    accessible and within a reasonable and workable
    timeframe. By updating the policy handbook it will
    aid all disciplines within the Wesley Pines facility.
    Included in the revisions holds the rights under
    supervision and consultation of my supervisor to add
    any additional policies and procedures needed to
    better serve the residents of their community and
    overall wellbeing

    Agreement
    I, Tabitha Russ propose to update and revise the

    policy handbook for Wesley pines retirement


    community. I will provide a finished product by
    December 1st, 2014.
    Must be written in clear and concise language and
    will have a review date not to exceed three years; as
    changes to policy or procedures occur, policies are to
    be updated to reflect these changes. The current
    policy will remain in force during the review and
    updating process.

    Agreement
    Development of policies will be a collaborative process

    involving representatives from all areas that have


    responsibility to carry out the policy. Policy development
    or updates should be collaborated in such a manner to
    ensure that all required input is obtained prior to
    signature and distribution.
    Retirement community policies are limited to those
    policies that affect multiple services, reflect a
    fundamental direction of the facility, or are related to
    high risk, high cost, or problem prone endeavors. Policies
    that affect a single service are to be maintained as
    service-level policies.

    Process
    Review retirement community policies prior to signature

    to ensure accuracy and content are consistent with CMS


    and licensing standards and state law/administrative
    rules.
    Review all hospital policies prior to signing to ensure
    consistent format and established guidelines are
    followed.
    Ensure appropriate and applicable third party standards
    and State Statute are listed under the reference section in
    all policies.
    Review and approve all hospital policies and ensure all
    employees follow all policies consistently.

    Continued
    Assure technical accuracy of the content of all policies

    originating from their department/service. It may be


    necessary to collaborate with a number of
    departments/services to ensure accuracy. The policy
    must be consistent with current standards and
    requirements of the Department of Public Health and
    Human Services, external surveying bodies such as CMS,
    state licensing bodies, and state statute/administrative
    rules
    Coordinate the update and revision of all hospital
    policies assigned to the department/service in such a
    manner that policies are reviewed and reissued on or
    before the renewal date.

    Continued
    Maintain a filing system of all revised and rescinded

    policies to ensure accessibility of non-current


    policies.
    Ensure new or revised policies are accessible to all
    UMRH-Wesley Pines staff via the computerized
    policy manual (shortcut on desktop), Email and
    hard copy.
    Generate email notifications of all new or revised
    policies to all Wesley Pines staff.
