DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Health Care Reform: The Long-Term Care Factor: Hearing Before the Special Committee on Aging, U. S. Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, Washington, DC, April 12, 1994 We also want to phase in a system so that we can learn from it and we can build on the best innovations at the State level. We can ensure, hopefully, as Senator Graham pointed out, that it is based more on the social model, as Opposed to a medical model, but that it blends in the best of both of those systems. That is a quick, overall summary of the President's plan. If I can, for the next few minutes, I'd like to lay out what we are doing in the Administration on Aging to complement what the President is proposing and the work that we are doing in the Department of Health and Human Services in the area of long-term care. Last year, when I came on board, we made the issue of long-term care one of our priorities in aoa. Since that time, we have been focusing on four objectives. Those objectives and our long-term care agenda build on one of the ready infrastructures that, should the Congress decide to have long-term care, can be quickly utilized. That is the aging network, the 57 State offices or units on aging, the 670 area agencies on aging, the over service providers who are already providing community-based services, and over 225 tribal organizations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmong 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.
