Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concepts of preventive care and health promotion specifically in the context of the elderly. It adopts a broad concept of health and defines a number of goals around this theme. Thereafter it provides a succinct, up-to-the-minute critique of the worth, risks and costs of preventive care and health promotional strategies for older people. A broad range of such strategies are considered including cancer prevention, the prevention of non-cancer health problems and strategies aimed at enhancing functional status and strengthening the social support network. Principles for tailoring these strategies to the varied needs and wishes of elderly people are outlined. Likewise, practical measures are discussed for integrating these preventive strategies into the existing health care system. In particular, the role of screening, case-finding and targeting strategies in primary care are reviewed in detail. The book concludes with a wider look at the cost implications of preventive care for the purchasers of health and health care services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seniors today find themselves living in a time when rapid changes in health care delivery have made vital decisions about when and how best to obtain medical treatment difficult and confusing to navigate.

Book Synopsis Development of the New Preventive Care for Elderly and Families by : Kazue Sawami
Download or read book Development of the New Preventive Care for Elderly and Families written by Kazue Sawami and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First of all, in Japan, the increasing severity and prolonging of care associated with aging has become a problem. In order to prevent this, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has recommended the development of new preventative care programs. So, our research team also developed a preventative care program and verified its effectiveness. Second of all, the burden on family caregivers is great, and family caregivers who leave their jobs in order to provide care are increasing. In addition, in Japan there is an overwhelmingly large amount of care for the elderly, but family caregivers do not know much about caregiving. Therefore, it is necessary for the families of the elderly to gain information about caregiving. If they were able to learn the methods of preventative care and form connections between family caregivers, the burden on family caregivers would be reduced. Also, as family caregivers are often elderly themselves, they need preventative care. So, we developed a support program for family caregivers and verified its effectiveness.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
