Download or read book Home and Community Based Services written by Jo Vos and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minnesota provides a variety of home- and community-based services (HCBS) through its Medical Assistance program. These services are intended to help the elderly and adults with disabilities live in the community rather than institutions. Minnesota spent about $2.4 billion in Fiscal Year 2015 to provide these services to approximately 64,000 individuals. The median cost per recipient was about $22,000. Despite the significant amounts of money spent for HCBS, we found that the Minnesota Department of Human Services does not provide adequate financial oversight of all HCBS providers.

Book Handbook of Program Evaluation for Social Work and Health Professionals

Download or read book Handbook of Program Evaluation for Social Work and Health Professionals written by Michael J. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-21 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation is crucial for determining the effectiveness of social programs and interventions. In this nuts and bolts handbook, social work and health care professionals are shown how evaluations should be done, taking the intimidation and guesswork out of this essential task. Current perspectives in social work and health practice, such as the strengths perspective, consumer empowerment, empowerment evaluation, and evidence-based practice, are linked to evaluation concepts throughout the book to emphasize their importance. This book makes evaluation come alive with comprehensive examples of each different type of evaluation, such as a strengths-based needs assessment in a local community, a needs assessment for Child Health Plus programs, comprehensive program descriptions of HIV services and community services for the aged, a model for goals and objectives in programs for people with mental illness, a monitoring study of private practice social work, and process evaluations of a Medicare advocacy program and a health advocacy program to explain advance directives. Equal emphasis is given to both quantitative and qualitative data analysis with real examples that make statistics and concepts in qualitative analysis un-intimidating. By integrating both evaluation and research methods and assuming no previous knowledge of research, this book makes an excellent reference for professionals working in social work and health settings who are now being called upon to conduct or supervise program evaluation and may need a refresher on research methods. With a pragmatic approach that includes survey design, data collection methods, sampling, analysis, and report writing, it is also an excellent text or classroom resource for students new to the field of program evaluation.

Book Understanding Home and Community based Long term Services and Supports

Download or read book Understanding Home and Community based Long term Services and Supports written by Yan Wang and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home and community-based services (HCBS) have now become a mainstay of publicly-funded long-term services and supports (LTSS) in the United States, as the reliance on institutional long-term care is decreasing. Much of this national trend is driven by a process known as Medicaid LTSS delivery system rebalancing. The objective of my dissertation is to explore and better understand HCBS as a way to curb LTSS spending growth through an evaluation of Medicaid's most recent rebalancing effort - the Balancing Incentive Program (BIP). The study consists of three sections. The introductory chapter gives a general overview of background information and research context. The next chapter reviews Section 1915 (c) Waivers as the standard bearer of HCBS to present a snapshot of service provision and use across states. It involves a detailed inspection and classification of HCBS to address heterogeneous definitions and scopes. Chapter 3 has two subsections which perform quantitative data analyses. The first part assesses the effectiveness of the BIP in terms of its impact on health care utilization, expenditures, and health among older adults; and the second part investigates whether the program contributes to survival benefits for the elderly population. My dissertation illustrates the evolving landscape of LTSS; and it suggests that federal and state policies aimed at expanding HCBS as alternatives to institutional long-term care seem to be a promising practice, without driving up the utilization of and expenditures on other health care services or negatively impacting health outcomes. Under the pressure of population aging and government budget crisis, the study could make a timely contribution to the development of a more efficient and effective long-term care system in the United States.

Book Home and Community Based Services for Older Adults

Download or read book Home and Community Based Services for Older Adults written by Keith Anderson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As older adults and their families opt out of nursing homes, a range of home and community-based services (HCBS) have risen up to provide care. HCBS span platforms and approaches, from home health care to assisted living to community-based hospice to adult day services. These models are, for most, preferable to nursing homes and allow older adults to “age in place”—live longer in their own homes and communities. Home- and Community-Based Services for Older Adults examines the existing and emerging models of HCBS, including the history, theory, research, policy, and practices across care settings. Emphasizing the multidisciplinary and interprofessional practice approaches used to deliver care, this book is an essential learning tool for students interested in medicine, nursing, social work, allied health professions, case management, health care administration, and gerontology. As the population of older adults grows, the authors ask, how can we best meet the needs of older adults and their families in the most effective, cost-conscious way while honoring their care choices?
