They intend this manual to provide a basis for expanding animal-assisted interventions through the whole array of health care delivery organizations serving needs across the care continuum. They cover the health care administrator's overview of an animal-assisted intervention program; program structure, establishing requirements: program entry and implementation; maintaining compliance: renewals, record keeping, and team retention; program evaluation; and beyond visitation: animal-assisted therapy and facility dogs.
