Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
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.

"[This book is] the most authoritative assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of recent trends toward the commercialization of health care," says Robert Pear of The New York Times. This major study by the Institute of Medicine examines virtually all aspects of for-profit health care in the United States, including the quality and availability of health care, the cost of medical care, access to financial capital, implications for education and research, and the fiduciary role of the physician. In addition to the report, the book contains 15 papers by experts in the field of for-profit health care covering a broad range of topicsâ€"from trends in the growth of major investor-owned hospital companies to the ethical issues in for-profit health care. "The report makes a lasting contribution to the health policy literature." â€"Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law.

Book Description
As a result of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980, states are required to give assurances to HHS' Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) that their payment rates are reasonable and adequate to meet the costs incurred by efficiencly and economically operated nursing homes to provide care in conformity with applicable state and federal laws, regulations, and quality and safety standards. How effective have states been in establishing prospective payment systems that provide nursing homes an incentive to reduce costs without adversely affecting quality of care? In our review, we identified weaknesses in each phase of the rate-setting process described above. These weaknesses meant that HCFA lacked adequate assurances that the states' reimbursements rates were reasonable and adequate to meet the costs incurred by efficiently and economically operated nursing homes.
