Book excerpt: Among the issues confronting America is long-term care for frail, older persons and others with chronic conditions and functional limitations that limit their ability to care for themselves. Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care takes a comprehensive look at the quality of care and quality of life in long-term care, including nursing homes, home health agencies, residential care facilities, family members and a variety of others. This book describes the current state of long-term care, identifying problem areas and offering recommendations for federal and state policymakers. Who uses long-term care? How have the characteristics of this population changed over time? What paths do people follow in long term care? The committee provides the latest information on these and other key questions. This book explores strengths and limitations of available data and research literature especially for settings other than nursing homes, on methods to measure, oversee, and improve the quality of long-term care. The committee makes recommendations on setting and enforcing standards of care, strengthening the caregiving workforce, reimbursement issues, and expanding the knowledge base to guide organizational and individual caregivers in improving the quality of care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed six states' long-term care case management efforts, focusing on: (1) what constitutes case management, (2) case managers' roles and performance barriers; and (3) standards for case managers. GAO found that: (1) states use various organizational structures, agencies, and operational approaches to provide case management to the elderly; (2) in all six states, case managers perform five core case management functions including comprehensively assessing client needs, developing care plans based on needs, arranging services, monitoring client status through regularly scheduled contacts, and periodically reassessing client needs and care plans; (3) case managers may perform additional functions that are specific to their agency; (4) the case management process should focus on the client's medical and social needs, client involvement in service planning, efficient service coordination, knowledge of service providers and the quality of their care, and continued training to maintain and improve case managers' skills; (5) large caseloads do not allow for accurate monitoring of clients and on-going training for case managers; (6) barriers to effective case management include a lack of financial resources, scarcity of services, and excessive administrative requirements; (7) specific standards for case management functions, caseloads, and case manager qualifications vary from state to state; and (8) two national organizations have established general standards for long-term care case management activities.

Download or read book CMSA s Integrated Case Management written by Kathleen Fraser, MSN, MHA, RN-BC, CCM, CRRN and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-01-28 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by case managers for case managers, this reference manual for nurses and other health professionals presents a CMSA tested approach towards systematically integrating physical and mental health case management principles and assessment tools. Since the health care field has undergone major changes such as the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Mental Health Parity, Transition of Care & Chronic Care Management and the Medicare Act and CHIP Authorization Act (MACRA), health care workers must competently know how to integrate those new regulations, describe alternative payment options, and implement requirements for greater patient and family assessment, care planning, and care coordination in their practice. CMSA’s Integrated Case Management delves into the role of the case manager and unpacks how case managers assess and treat complex patients. These are patients who may be challenged with medical and behavioral conditions, poor access to care services, as well as chronic illnesses and disabilities, and require multidisciplinary care to regain health and function. With a wealth of information on regulatory requirements, new models of care, integration of services, digital and telemedicine, and new performance measures that are clearly defined for nurses in nursing terminology, chapters outline the steps needed to begin, implement, and use the interventions of the Integrated Case Management approach. All content aligns with the newly revised 2017 Model Care Act, CMSA Standards of Practice 2016 as well as the CMSA Core Curriculum for Case Management Third Edition.
Download or read book The Heart of Long Term Care written by Rosalie A. Kane and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-term care in the United States has taken the nursing home as its benchmark, but the monetary, social, and psychological costs of nursing home care are all too high. This book challenges the current dominance of nursing homes as the principal institution of long-term care. It offers a series of alternative models where both services and housing can be provided in a way that allows long-term consumers to enjoy dignified, "normal" lifestyles. It addresses the political and economic consequences of making this decision. The authors start with the premise that long-term care is designed to assist people who lack the capacity to function fully independently. They argue that no disabled person of any age should be required to forsake his/her humanity in exchange for care. The book rejects the artificial dichotomy between social and medical care, asserting that both play important roles in psychological and physical well-being of long-term care patients. The authors consider the need for competent and compassionate medicine and discuss the methods for improving both its coordination of care and its effectiveness. The book redefines the meaning of safety and protection in long-term care, and how this goal can be accomplished without sacrificing quality of living. As the new millennium and the aging of baby boomers approaches, more creative approaches to providing better long-term care are required. This volume outlines a useful framework for the provision of effective and humane community-based programs that are both feasible and affordable. It will be an invaluable guide for geriatricians, public health professionals, family physicians, nurses and others who care for elderly patients.
