Designing and Implementing Procedures for Health and Human Services (SAGE Human Services Guides)

By Morris Schaefer

This guide offers a wealth of practical problems, solutions, and explanations to help everyone, regardless of job title, write procedures for their health and human service work. In an area where management is often assigned to a variety of positions--clinical, administrative, support, and executive--procedures offer an important management tool by translating abstract goals into concrete instructions. Readers will learn: What procedures they can--and cannot--accomplish; how to analyze tasks; how to write clear, straightforward procedures; when to put procedural information into one document or into several; which kinds of policy information should be included in procedure documents; and what good "policiy and procedure" documents look like. In addition, the author discusses the more complex techniques needed to put written procedures to effective use. A concise, handy, all-in-one manual, Designing and Implementing Procedures for Health and Human Services will give expert guidance to students and professionals training or working in a wide range of helping endeavors.
