Book Description
Long-term care issues have high prominence among state officials in Pennsylvania as a result of its large elderly population and concern about the impact of long-term care costs on the state's budget. Its population aged 65 and older is 15.6% of its total population, ranking second only to Florida. By 2025, 21% of its population will be 65 and older. Pennsylvania is federal and state Medicaid spending for long-term care in FY2001 was $5.1 billion -- almost half of all Medicaid spending. Spending for nursing homes was more than one-third of Medicaid spending. While spending for home and community-based services has increased dramatically in recent years, these services represented less than one of every five dollars spent on long-term care in FY2001. Over the last two decades, Pennsylvania has documented issues it has confronted in providing long-term services. Among these issues are: an imbalance in financing favoring institutional care, rather than home and community-based care (which most people prefer); fragmentation in the management and delivery of services; difficult access to services, especially for low and moderate income persons who do not qualify for Medicaid; and disparities in service availability across the state and populations in need of care. According to state officials, Pennsylvania's guiding principles in long-term care are to: control surplus growth of nursing home beds; support consumer choice; encourage expansion of home and community-based services; fund services rather than capital construction; and assure quality of care.

You may be struggling with self-doubt or anxiety, and are likely concerned about how the transition will affect not only your loved one, but also your entire family. And, naturally, you are worried about the cost. In Pennsylvania, the average monthly cost of long-term nursing home care can stretch as high as $12,000 a month, which is a hefty price for even the most financially secure families. Fortunately, Medicaid or Medical Assistance will pay most of the costs for those who qualify, but navigating the system can be a daunting task, and it leaves many families feeling completely lost. A must-read for anyone contemplating a loved one's long-term care, Medicaid, PA Nursing Homes, and You offers simple, straightforward advice to set your mind at ease and help you understand the complex rules and regulations surrounding nursing home Medical Assistance in Pennsylvania. It provides answers to some of the most frequent questions families ask during the process, and it delivers tips from the author, who has helped hundreds of families obtain benefits during his fifty years working in the field.

Book Description
The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.
