New laws governing the regulation of health care and adult social care came into force in 2010 and introduced a common set of essential standards of quality and safety that all care providers must now meet. The report covers all of the services that CQC regulated and assessed under the previous legislation: adult social care services (Care homes, nursing homes and home care agencies); the NHS and independent health care services; Councils and primary care trusts (PCTs) who provide and purchase (commission) adult social care and health care services for their communities. There are four main sections - safe care, choice and control, person-centred services and standards of care.

Book excerpt: This is the Care Quality Commission's first yearly report to Parliament on the state of health care and adult social care in England. It covers the services that the Commission regulates which include: adult social care services (care homes and home care agencies); NHS and independent health care services; and primary care trusts (PCTs) and councils, which provide and purchase health care and adult social care services for their community. Whilst great improvements have been made over recent years there remains unacceptable variation, and a small number of services or organisations do not meet minimum standards of safety and quality. The future presents a major challenge. The Government expects that, in 20 years' time, 1.7 million more adults in England will have a care and support need. At the same time, we are entering a period when public finances will be stretched and expectations of choice and control are increasing. To help meet these challenges, there needs to be real acceleration in joining up health and social care and centring it on people's needs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adult social care was the first major social policy domain in England to be transferred from the state to the market. There is now a forty-year period to look back at to consider the thinking behind the strategy, the impacts on commissioners and providers of care, on the care workforce and on those who use care and support services. In this book, Bob Hudson meticulously charts these shifts. He challenges the dominant market paradigm, explores alternative models for a post-Covid-19 future and locates the debate within the wider literature on political thinking and policy change.

This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health care and adult social care services in England. This report describes the state of health care and adult social care services in England in 2011/12. The report has two main sections, dealing with the shape of care provision and the quality and safety of services. Each section looks at the different care sectors in turn: NHS healthcare, independent healthcare, dental care and adult social care. Overall the Care Quality Commission found that the increasing complexity of conditions and greater co-morbidities experienced by people are impacting on the ability of care providers to deliver person-centred care that meets individuals needs. It is also seeing increasing pressures on staff, both in terms of the skills required to care for people with more complex conditions and in terms of staff numbers.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year's report finds that most people in England receive a good quality of care. Our ratings show that quality overall has been largely maintained from last year, and in some cases improved, despite the continuing challenges that providers face. Some people told us about the outstanding care they have received and how some individual services have changed their lives for the better. Others told us about the poor and sometimes disjointed care they have received. We found that peoples experiences of care often depend on how well local systems work together where they live. Some people can easily access good care, while others cannot get the support they need. They may experience disjointed care, or only have access to providers with poor services. This builds on what we saw in Beyond barriers, our report looking at how services work together to support and care for people aged 65 and over. 5 factors affecting the sustainability of good care The challenge for all local health an ...

Download or read book Organization and Financing of Public Health Services in Europe written by Who Regional Office for Europe and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are public health services? Countries across Europe understand what they are or what they should include differently. This study describes the experiences of nine countries detailing the ways they have opted to organize and finance public health services and train and employ their public health workforce. It covers England France Germany Italy the Netherlands Slovenia Sweden Poland and the Republic of Moldova and aims to give insights into current practice that will support decision-makers in their efforts to strengthen public health capacities and services. Each country chapter captures the historical background of public health services and the context in which they operate; sets out the main organizational structures; assesses the sources of public health financing and how it is allocated; explains the training and employment of the public health workforce; and analyses existing frameworks for quality and performance assessment. The study reveals a wide range of experience and variation across Europe and clearly illustrates two fundamentally different approaches to public health services: integration with curative health services (as in Slovenia or Sweden) or organization and provision through a separate parallel structure (Republic of Moldova). The case studies explore the context that explain this divergence and its implications. This study is the result of close collaboration between the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies and the WHO Regional Office for Europe Division of Health Systems and Public Health. It accompanies two other Observatory publications Organization and financing of public health services in Europe and The role of public health organizations in addressing public health problems in Europe: the case of obesity alcohol and antimicrobial resistance (both forthcoming).
