Healthcare Compliance Solutions Ltd
Provide consultancy services to support excellence in aged residential care. These services include providing quality systems (policies and procedures) which enable health providers of aged care services to use as their guidelines for service delivery. With a background in nursing, management and audit, we work with providers throughout New Zealand and also support best practice in aged care nursing globally.
Required: A book cover for a printed paperback book called "Excellence in residential care: a guide for managers and nurses". Healthcare management guide book - This book is a management guide so needs to look professional, modern, inspiring and somehow depict nurse management and care as still being compassionate. The content of the book relays to the reader the 'how to' for providing residential care services (predominantly to the elderly) based on legislative requirements and best practice in nursing. The content reminds the reader of the need to care from a professional, heart-felt and patient centred perspective. The target market for this book is global as the needs of nurses and the elderly in their care are very similar world-wide. The managers and nurses that are the target market for this book are very busy people, often working 12 hour days with no time to rest. They are highly skilled professionals. They use their computers with the same proficiency and competency as they use their stethoscopes. They are torn between the need to document the care they provide while trying to find the time to actually provide the care to the elderly in need. The book cover idea attached by me is a general concept but I'm certainly open to seeing ideas that may be quite different to this. I'm open to your creativity taking the above comments into consideration. If you think a better title would be more appealing to the market, please offer your suggestions. It must focus on the concept of quality care in the modern nursing world where the nurse is the person that is the administrator of the organisation as well as the person providing clinical care at the elderly vulnerable patients bed-side.
I would like a copy of the photograph of me on the back cover as the author. A blurb with the photo could include:
Gillian Robinson Director of Healthcare Compliance Solutions Ltd has worked in the residential care setting as a nurse, manager and auditor since 1999. Through development and maintaining quality systems to meet residential care Certification audit outcomes Gillian's expertise is well recognised.
Supporting care provision to the highest possible standards while meeting legislative compliance is not an easy blend however Gillian has a passion for coaching and mentoring to enable the achievement of both. While aged residential care in New Zealand has been Gillian's workplace and playground for many years, this book will be a valuable resource to aged residential care providers and those relying on them everywhere.
