This book was released on 1986-02-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As more people live longer, the need for quality long-term care for the elderly will increase dramatically. This volume examines the current system of nursing home regulations, and proposes an overhaul to better provide for those confined to such facilities. It determines the need for regulations, and concludes that the present regulatory system is inadequate, stating that what is needed is not more regulation, but better regulation. This long-anticipated study provides a wealth of useful background information, in-depth study, and discussion for nursing home administrators, students, and teachers in the health care field; professionals involved in caring for the elderly; and geriatric specialists.

This book was released on 2001-02-27 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: The Institute of Medicine study Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001) recommended that an interdisciplinary summit be held to further reform of health professions education in order to enhance quality and patient safety. Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality is the follow up to that summit, held in June 2002, where 150 participants across disciplines and occupations developed ideas about how to integrate a core set of competencies into health professions education. These core competencies include patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teams, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. This book recommends a mix of approaches to health education improvement, including those related to oversight processes, the training environment, research, public reporting, and leadership. Educators, administrators, and health professionals can use this book to help achieve an approach to education that better prepares clinicians to meet both the needs of patients and the requirements of a changing health care system.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Objectives: (1) Propose explicit criteria regarding what information long-term care (LTC) dispensing pharmacists should be provided to perform medication reconciliation upon hospital to nursing home transitions. (2) Describe the types and quality of information provided to and used by LTC dispensing pharmacists for medication review and/or reconciliation upon hospital to nursing homes transitions. Design: This study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 used the Delphi Approach. Phase 2 involved a qualitative analysis of observations and interviews guided by The Information Chaos Model. Settings and participants: For Phase 1, 14 LTC dispensing pharmacists were recruited through the Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin Fast Facts Listserv to participate in the Delphi Approach. For Phase 2, seven LTC dispensing pharmacists in five long-term care pharmacies were recruited to collect data on ten nursing home admissions regarding the types and quality of information that is used to process orders and/or perform medication reconciliation. Measurements: For Phase 1, 80% consensus on the types of information needed to perform medication reconciliation was measured around three points on a nine point Likert scale. For Phase 2, types and quality of information received and used was analyzed using thematic analysis and coded using the constructs from the Information Chaos Model. Information obtained in the follow up interviews was categorized as to what constitutes a good or poor quality admission as it pertains to the quality of information the pharmacists receive. Results: Phase 1: At the completion of the fifth questionnaire, 22 of 34 types of information met consensus regarding the importance of the need to have to perform medication reconciliation. Phase 2: The pharmacists encountered many situations in which they received too much information, incomplete information, information that they received at different times or information that conflicted. Pharmacists articulated that receiving information that was clear, concise and accurate and presented in an organized format contributed to what they perceived as a good quality admission. Conclusions: The findings from this study can be the foundation for further research on the appropriate role of LTC dispensing pharmacists in nursing home transitions of care.
