Förlagets beskrivning
Key policy issues in long-term care are diverse and complex and the numbers
of persons needing such care continue to incease. Demographic and
epidemiological transitions will result in dramatic changes in the health needs
of the world's populations. Everywhere, there is a steep increase in the need
for long-term care (LTC). These trends reflect two interrelated processes. One
is the growth in factors that increase the prevalence of long-term disability
in the population. The second is the change in the capacity of the informal
support system to address these needs. Both of these processes enhance the
urgency for public policies to address the consequences of these changes. The
growing need for LTC policies is generally associated with industrialized
countries. What is less widely acknowledged is that long-term care needs are
increasing in the developing world at a rate that far exceeds that experienced
by industrialized countries. Moreover, the developing world is experiencing
increases in LTC needs at levels of income that are far lower than that which
existed in the industrialized world when these needs emerged. This volume
addresses many of these issues. Included are the role of and support to the family, integration with
health, and social systems, case management,human resources, quality assurance,
and choosing strategies for designing LTC systems. Recognized experts provide a
comprehensive overview of these and related topics. Key policy issues in long-term care (LTC) are complex and the numbers of
persons needing such care continue to incease. This volume addresses these
issues: the role of and support to the family; integration with health and
social systems; case management; and strategies for designing LTC systems.
