This edition focuses on some recent work of Lewins Center on Long Term Care. http://www.quintiles.com/index/featured_content/1,1170,658,00.html THIS ISSUES ARTICLES --> Future Housing and Long Term Care Needs of Seniors --> LTC System Design: The Devil is in the Details --> New Resources Available for Caregivers --> What Do People with Disabilities Need to Succeed in the Workplace? --> Avoiding Unnecessary Institutionalization --> Web-Based LTC Planning Tool for States > Future Housing and Long Term Care Needs of Seniors A congressionally appointed commission brings together two policy issues that too often live in separate worlds: affordable housing and long term care. http://www.quintiles.com/index/featured_content/1,1170,663,00.html > LTC System Design: The Devil is in the Details Research reveals wide variation in the way states administer their home and community- based services and identifies some lessons learned. http://www.quintiles.com/index/featured_content/1,1170,662,00.html > New Resources Available for Caregivers The National Family Caregivers Support Program (NFCSP) gave the countrys aging network the lead in developing a comprehensive support system for informal caregivers. Now the tools are in place. http://www.quintiles.com/index/featured_content/1,1170,661,00.html > What Do People with Disabilities Need to Succeed in the Workplace? Focus groups of people with severe disabilities provide the perspective of those who have overcome significant challenges to become gainfully employed. Health insurance and employer behavior play primary roles. http://www.quintiles.com/index/featured_content/1,1170,660,00.html > Avoiding Unnecessary Institutionalization In the post-Olmstead period, Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) programs that prevent inappropriate institutionalization of people with mental disabilities have become perhaps more critical than ever. A comprehensive analysis of PASRR policy lends clarity to a complex set of guidelines. http://www.quintiles.com/index/featured_content/1,1170,659,00.html > Web-Based LTC Planning Tool for States States thinking about expanding their home and community-based services worry that the demand for these services could outstrip their ability to finance them. A new Web tool can estimate the potential size of a states target population. http://www.quintiles.com/index/featured_content/1,1170,650,00.html ************************************ To view a disability-friendly version of Lewin Insight, click here: http://www.lewingroup.liquidweb.com/insight1.html ************************************ Previous Lewin Insight Articles --> Who Isn't a Public Health Stakeholder? http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,309,00.html --> Web-Based Enrollment Works! http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,312,00.html --> Infectious Diseases Surveillance: Assessing Our Nation's Core Capacity http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,313,00.html --> Assessing the Financial Condition of Connecticut Hospitals http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,315,00.html --> Public Health Labs: Their Unique Role in a Changing Market http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,314,00.html --> GPOs: Clinical Review of New Technology http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,325,00.html --> Help "Make Work Pay" for the Working Poor http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,324,00.html --> A Prospective Payment System for Long-Term Hospitals http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,323,00.html --> Translating Prevention Research Findings into Practice http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,322,00.html --> TrendWatch: Keep an Eye Out! http://www.quintiles.com/products_and_services/specialty_consulting/the_lewin_group/lewin_publications/detail/1,1278,321,00.html *********************************** Help Others Gain Lewin Insight If you have business friends, colleagues, or clients who would benefit from receiving Lewin Insight, please forward this email message to them.
