Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with disabilities, chronic conditions, and functional impairments need a range of services and supports to keep living independently. However, there often is not a strong link between medical care provided in the home and the necessary social services and supports for independent living. Home health agencies and others are rising to the challenges of meeting the needs and demands of these populations to stay at home by exploring alternative models of care and payment approaches, the best use of their workforces, and technologies that can enhance independent living. All of these challenges and opportunities lead to the consideration of how home health care fits into the future health care system overall. On September 30 and October 1, 2014, the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council convened a public workshop on the future of home health care. The workshop brought together a spectrum of public and private stakeholders and thought leaders to improve understanding of the current role of Medicare home health care in supporting aging in place and in helping high-risk, chronically ill, and disabled Americans receive health care in their communities. Through presentations and discussion, participants explored the evolving role of Medicare home health care in caring for Americans in the future, including how to integrate Medicare home health care into new models for the delivery of care and the future health care marketplace. The workshop also considered the key policy reforms and investments in workforces, technologies, and research needed to leverage the value of home health care to support older Americans, and research priorities that can help clarify the value of home health care. This summary captures important points raised by the individual speakers and workshop participants.

Book excerpt: Homecare is a fact of life in Canada. Hundreds of thousands of people across the country are receiving care at home that not long ago would only have been given in institutions. But homecare has grown piecemeal. Its development has been spurred by budget cuts that pressured hospital managers to get patients out the door, medical breakthroughs that have made it possible to deliver many types of care outside of institutional walls, and values that lead families to keep the frail, the chronically ill and even the dying at home rather than send them away to an institution.

Advances in health knowledge, practice, technology and pharmacology are helping people to live well longer and have more of their health care needs met in their homes and communities, rather than more traditional care in institutions. The profile of needs is changing from episodic illnesses to the long-term management of chronic diseases ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Population aging is challenging countries around the globe to adapt their public policy responses to the new world. Long-term care is a relevant topic today both because of the rapid growth in long-term care needs in every country and the lack of responses from governments. The Future of Long-term Care explores some issues related to the implementation of long-term care responses in different countries. Looking at six different cases, the book highlights the need to foster an urgent debate in the area, as well as emphasizing the need for action in the coming years. The examples analyzed show common problems faced by countries trying to respond to their people's needs, as well as the dissimilar stages, contexts, and paths followed by each one in the endeavour for providing long-term care services to the population. Whether the analysis is carried out in countries with well-established long-term care systems or in places where the debate is just starting, the book proves that this is an area in which many challenges remain. Learning lessons from others is important but providing a space for countries to frame their problems and propose their solutions is crucial. This book contributes to fill this gap and contribute to a debate that is just starting in many places around the world"--

Download or read book Toward Sustainable Transitions in Healthcare Systems written by Jacqueline Broerse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health systems have long been considered key determinants of well-being within modern societies, a valuable resource which have faced a series of reform initiatives throughout the past decades. These reforms have been used to manage the cost of development, measure the tenability of health systems in globalizing economies and promote the increasing importance of health problems related to lifestyle and living conditions, yet they have failed to provide a true resolution to the persistent economical and logistical problems facing modern-day health systems. This rich, interdisciplinary work explores the hypothesis that many of these problems cannot be adequately addressed without structural changes to our health systems, and examines the embedded features of our health systems that underlie contemporary challenges as well as how, and under what conditions, our health systems can be made more sustainable. Combining and building upon theoretical approaches from transition and innovation studies for analysing health system deficits, Toward Sustainable Transitions in Healthcare Systems raises fundamental questions about how new research, new needs and exogenous trends are transforming current health innovation systems. Providing an original and substantial analysis of the complex structural features of the health innovation system, this book will be of interest to students and practitioners of the politics of health, social epidemiology, medical sociology and those with an interest in transition theory.

Download or read book The First Ministers Accord on Health Renewal and the Future of Home Care in Canada written by Sanober S. Motiwala and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 5, 2003, the Prime Minister and Premiers of seven provinces signed an agreement, the First Ministers' Accord on Health Care Renewal, outlining the direction of public healthcare in Canada in the near future. The Accord addressed several key issues in healthcare, namely prescription drug coverage, home care, diagnostic services, timeliness of care and primary healthcare reform. This paper critiques the home-care initiatives outlined by the First Ministers, on the grounds that they do not speak to issues of access to long-term care or to non-professional home care - services that are deemed critical by the elderly who wish to stay at home and who represent an increasing proportion of the country's population. Furthermore, the Accord does not establish legislative protection or separate funding, both of which are necessary to ensure that home care as a whole receives an adequate share of resources and political attention over the medium and long-term.
