Book Description
Photobiological data from other species indicate that light can be both beneficial and detrimental to many biological processes. The time has come to evaluate the risk-benefit ratio of this modality of therapy for hyperbilirubinemia of the neonate. There has been little, thus far, to indicate immediate hazards from this form of therapy, but long-term sequelae have not been adequately assessed. A review of the experience of the past 15-17 years with this agent was thought to be useful. In. April 1974, the Pregnancy and Infancy Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development sponsored a conference to assess the photobiological processes involved in phototherapy, as well as to document the long-term clinical experience of clinicians from all parts of the world who have used light in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia since 1958. The papers and discussions presented in this book by distinguished investigators from the clinical and basic sciences illustrate not only the breadth of the problem, but also the value of an interdisciplinary approach to its resolution.

Improving the Quality of Long-Term Care
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309132746
Category : Medical
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.
