► Organize day into related activities to increase efficiency

► Do all related tasks at once, i.e. gather all charts to complete MDS

assessments at one time

► Determine what time the residents will be discharging and ensure

all services are arranged to facilitate a safe d/c plan (all this should

have already been arranged prior to the day of d/c but now it's just

making sure it all falls into place)

► Since care plans are at scheduled times, all other activities must

take place around those

► Save the new admissions for the end of the day unless

intervention is needed sooner

► Remain focused on the task at hand

► Minimize interruptions
