Book Synopsis Approaching Death by : Committee on Care at the End of Life
Download or read book Approaching Death written by Committee on Care at the End of Life and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-10-30 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the end of life makes its inevitable appearance, people should be able to expect reliable, humane, and effective caregiving. Yet too many dying people suffer unnecessarily. While an "overtreated" dying is feared, untreated pain or emotional abandonment are equally frightening. Approaching Death reflects a wide-ranging effort to understand what we know about care at the end of life, what we have yet to learn, and what we know but do not adequately apply. It seeks to build understanding of what constitutes good care for the dying and offers recommendations to decisionmakers that address specific barriers to achieving good care. This volume offers a profile of when, where, and how Americans die. It examines the dimensions of caring at the end of life: Determining diagnosis and prognosis and communicating these to patient and family. Establishing clinical and personal goals. Matching physical, psychological, spiritual, and practical care strategies to the patient's values and circumstances. Approaching Death considers the dying experience in hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings and the role of interdisciplinary teams and managed care. It offers perspectives on quality measurement and improvement, the role of practice guidelines, cost concerns, and legal issues such as assisted suicide. The book proposes how health professionals can become better prepared to care well for those who are dying and to understand that these are not patients for whom "nothing can be done."
Book Synopsis Dying in America by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Dying in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For patients and their loved ones, no care decisions are more profound than those made near the end of life. Unfortunately, the experience of dying in the United States is often characterized by fragmented care, inadequate treatment of distressing symptoms, frequent transitions among care settings, and enormous care responsibilities for families. According to this report, the current health care system of rendering more intensive services than are necessary and desired by patients, and the lack of coordination among programs increases risks to patients and creates avoidable burdens on them and their families. Dying in America is a study of the current state of health care for persons of all ages who are nearing the end of life. Death is not a strictly medical event. Ideally, health care for those nearing the end of life harmonizes with social, psychological, and spiritual support. All people with advanced illnesses who may be approaching the end of life are entitled to access to high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based care, consistent with their wishes. Dying in America evaluates strategies to integrate care into a person- and family-centered, team-based framework, and makes recommendations to create a system that coordinates care and supports and respects the choices of patients and their families. The findings and recommendations of this report will address the needs of patients and their families and assist policy makers, clinicians and their educational and credentialing bodies, leaders of health care delivery and financing organizations, researchers, public and private funders, religious and community leaders, advocates of better care, journalists, and the public to provide the best care possible for people nearing the end of life.

Book Synopsis Medicare by : U S Government Accountability Office (G
Download or read book Medicare written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed hospices that were not Medicare-certified, to determine: (1) the factors that influenced a hospice not to participate in Medicare; (2) whether the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) set reasonable prospective payment rates for hospices; (3) whether Congress could adopt additional standards to ensure that participating hospices provided quality care; and (4) whether HCFA and its intermediaries consistently administered the hospice benefit with program policies. GAO found that: (1) enrollment in a Medicare hospice required certification that the patient was terminally ill and would die within 6 months; (2) a participating hospice must have a contract with an inpatient care facility that stipulates that hospice staff will assume care of a patient at that facility; (3) nonparticipating hospices believed that inpatient facility physicians would be reluctant to relinquish patient management to hospice physicians; (4) although some hospices believed that hospitals were reluctant to contract for patient care at the Medicare hospice inpatient rate, they seemed to have no problems in obtaining the contracts or in providing all inpatient services; (5) hospices had a payment cap of $9,010 times the number of enrolled patients, which some nonparticipating hospices thought could impose a financial risk, but HCFA data showed no instances where hospices reached the cap or filed claims that exceeded the cap; and (6) although some nonparticipating hospices had concerns that reimbursement was limited to no more than 20 percent of total care days as inpatient days, most hospices did not reach the 20-percent limit and did not believe that the limit had an adverse impact on their operations. GAO also found that: (1) it could not determine the reasonableness of payment rates, since hospice cost data included incomplete and inaccurate data on labor hours, and understated overhead costs, parent-organization costs allocated to operations, and inpatient service costs; (2) the HCFA formula for calculating unit costs, which apportions overhead to cost centers according to square footage, is not always appropriate; and (3) although Medicare required home health agencies to train employees and protect patient rights, the requirements applied only to their affiliated hospices.
