| 10 | Briefing | Long-Term Care: Exploring the Possibilities, 3/9/2009
Almost every day, we learn of a new hearing or briefing about ways to improve our health care system. The White House, Congress, advocates and stakeholders are fully engaged. The elephant in the room during those discussions is long-term care. Despite being so large, it suffers from the possibility of being ignored. This March 9 forum, supported by the SCAN Foundation, brought together opinion leaders and stakeholders to explore options for the future of long-term care in the reform debate. Participants considered key policy questions on how to move from testing models at the edges to implementing feasible options through health reform.

| 10 | Briefing | Changing the Culture and Improving Quality: Innovations in Long-Term Care, 10/19/2007
Culture change in the long-term care world involves many players – residents, administrators, workers, lawmakers, policy analysts – sharing a common vision. One such vision attracting attention has been developed by a group of citizens, providers and advocates known as Pioneers who are exploring alternatives to traditional nursing facilities. Their goal: facilities that are resident-centered, less institutional and more home-like. This involves trying to piece together financing from Medicaid, Medicare and private funding sources.
Will we be ready to meet the demands of aging boomers for more consumer-directed care? Are legislative changes needed to promote it? This briefing, sponsored by the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, addressed these and related questions.
|
| 10 | Briefing | THE LONG-TERM CARE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM: What Role Will It Play in Broader Long-Term Care Policy?, 11/9/2006
The Long-Term Care (LTC) Partnership Program allows purchasers of private long-term care insurance to qualify eventually for Medicaid coverage of long-term care services without having to meet the same asset requirements as other Medicaid applicants. Partnership programs began in 1987 in four states – New York, California, Connecticut, and Indiana.
|
| 10 | Briefing | CARING FOR THE ELDERLY: Is There Any Answer to Rising Health Costs?, 9/26/2005
The costs of caring for the elderly have been growing steadily higher. Spending on Medicare benefits accounted for 17 percent of the nation’s total health care spending in 2004. With baby boomers retiring, and Medicare benefits changing, this percentage is expected to grow in the future. How concerned should we really be with rising health care costs, especially costs connected with the care of older people? Will new technologies create efficiencies that will dramatically reduce costs, or will technologies raise demand for care and thus drive cost increases?
|
| 10 | Briefing | Cash and Counseling: Part of the Long-Term Care Answer?, 7/29/2005
“Cash and Counseling” is a way of allowing individuals receiving personal assistance services through Medicaid to have more control over the services they get and who provides them. The program provides an individualized allowance that beneficiaries can use to hire a personal care assistant of their choice – often a family caregiver – or purchase items that help them live independently. The Alliance for Health Reform, along with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, held a briefing to discuss Cash and Counseling and results from the program's demonstration.

| 10 | Issue Brief | Changing the Nursing Home Culture, 3/1/2008
About a third of those turning 65 in 2010 will need nursing home care during their lifetimes. Yet so many people dread the thought of spending their last days or years in a nursing home. This is because many people aren’t aware of the creative alternatives being developed for those needing such care – facilities such as “Green Houses” that are resident-centered, less institutional and more home-like. This issue brief addresses the challenges being faced by those trying to change the nursing home culture, and some of their successes. Supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

|
| 10 | Issue Brief | Long-Term Care Partnerships: An Update, 3/15/2007

This issue brief reports on the rationale behind the partnership programs, results so far and issues going forward. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. (Adobe Acrobat PDF: 314 kb)

| 10 | Issue Brief | Cash & Counseling Moves Into the Mainstream, 4/1/2006

| 9 | Briefing | Treatment of Severe Chronic Illness: What Explains Cost and Quality Variations? Should We Be Concerned?, 9/8/2006
Some Medicare beneficiaries receive significantly more hospital-based services during the last two years of life than do other beneficiaries. The number of physician visits for Medicare beneficiaries can also vary greatly. What accounts for this variation? Do patients receiving more services tend to get better care, or not? Should policymakers take steps to more closely examine the relationship between spending and the volume of services provided at different facilities?

Seventeen years ago, a bipartisan congressional commission agreed unanimously that “all Americans should have access to affordable health and long-term care coverage in an efficient and effective system.” The Pepper Commission, chaired by Sen. Claude Pepper and then by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, is all but forgotten. But the insights and recommendations contained in the commission’s final report make for fascinating reading today and offer guidance as the nation ramps up for another try at major health reform.

| 8 | Briefing | QUALITY CARE AND COMFORT AT THE END OF LIFE: Changes Needed?, 6/8/2007
The American health system is focused on curing, and spends billions of dollars on treatment at the end of life. But now more than 40 million adult Americans suffer with life-altering, chronic health conditions. They and their families are often more concerned with pain management, comfort care, and coordinating care as they transition from setting to setting. As people live longer with grave chronic illness are they getting quality care? Where in the delivery of care spectrum should palliative care come into play? Sponsored by the Alliance and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
