Download or read book Best practices better matching of needs and resources will lead to better weapon system outcomes written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Department of Defense's (DOD) annual weapon system investment has been increased from about $90 billion 3 years ago to almost $100 billion for fiscal year 2001, DOD's buying power will be weakened if weapons continue to cost significantly more and take much longer to develop than planned. DOD would like to get the most out of this investment and has set goals to develop new weapons in half the traditional time and within budget. It has a long way to go; long-standing problems that work against delivering new weapons within estimates have proven resistant to reform. When one program encounters such problems and needs more money than planned, it comes at the expense of delaying or canceling other program. This means less overall modernization and a lower, unpredictable return on investment. The ability to execute a program more predictably within cost and schedule estimates would lessen the need to offset cost increases by disrupting other programs.
Download or read book Long Term Care Matching Resources and Needs written by David Challis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving equity and efficiency in the long-term care of older people is an international concern, with governments attempting to ensure that policies and practice develop so that resources are used to best effect. This requires good quality evidence founded on sound theory. This volume honours the outstanding contribution of Bleddyn Davies to this field, bringing together perspectives of scholars and practitioners from many countries including the UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Sweden and the USA. Contemporary policy dilemmas are considered, leavened by professional anecdote. A chapter from Davies himself, reflecting on the origins of the PSSRU (Personal Social Services Research Unit), concludes the volume that also features a full listing of his books and monographs, which will prove invaluable to those seeking to engage with his contribution to the field. This volume will greatly interest academics in social policy, social work, gerontology and social care as well as professionals in the field.
Download or read book Matching Resources to Needs in Community Care written by Bleddyn Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, Matching Resources to Needs describes the PSSRU’s community care approach and analyses the first of the community care projects, a seminal set of experiments in the care of the elderly at high risk of institutional long-term care. The experiments create field structures which provide incentives to improve efficiency, decentralised power over resources being balanced by enhanced accountability. The first part explains the approach, analyses the causes of inefficiency in ~British social care, and reviews British and American evidence about the relationships between resources, recipient characteristics and outcomes. The approach is compared with some two dozen American experiments hitherto unknown in the UK. It describes the design of the project and its evaluation. The authors then examine the experimental results. They show that cost and welfare effects are better and the costs of outcomes are lower for recipients of community car. The third part of the book uses observational and other data to explore the relationships between structures, assumptive worlds, causal processes and outcomes and their costs. It also analyses the performance of the core tasks of entrepreneurial case management for types of case. The book concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of this approach to community care.
