HEALTH CARE FINANCING IN THE COMMUNITY
Has the world shifted and does it make a difference?
One of the most important features of Community Services in the United States is the movement away from institutionalization (albeit the tendency for campuses called business parks, or nursing facilities that are often called assisted living facilities) which was an accepted feature in the 1960s and 1970s. Geraldo Rivera, John F. Kennedy Jr. (President of the USA), and Burton Blatt did make a difference!
In 2016, a commitment to successful community living is recognized worldwide (UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, 2006) as based upon individual and family quality of life. The popularity of family support among "minority groups" is current today offerring opportunities for achieving a better life surpassing the life trajectories otherwise thought to be "God given" in the world or the result of lotteries or games of chance.
However, while Family Support at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/family_support is recognized as critical to families with children, whether adoptive, foster, "reconstituted" or birth, often government does not wish to pay (now often cannot) and may intrude upon family life (albeit call for tax credits and tax deductions, and hiring of your own workers and aides). Great resources at the seminars will include:
Family Support and Family Caregiving Across Disabilities
(Singer, Biegel & Conway, 2012)
Personnel Preparation in Disability and Community Life:
Toward Universal Approaches to Support
(Racino, 2000)
From Snakepits to Cash Cows: Politics and Public Institutions
(Castellani, 2005)
For adults, it was always "American" to move from families (often to other cities and states) and establish your own families or strike out on your own ("pull yourself up by your bootstraps") in the new world. However, young adults are increasingly living with their families (Ask Harvard! From Ivy League Cornell University!) and seeking employment and life quality within the family.
In addition, the world of Medicaid of the 1970s with no funds for community services has mushroomed into industries of their own still relatively unknown. And today, in 2016, health care is realigning with the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the Health Care Exchanges and court challenges in process today. Good resources at the seminar include Medicaid politics ("with or without us"):
The Politics of Medicaid
Laura Katz Olson
and
Medicaid Politics: Federalism, Policy, Durability, & the Health Care Reform
Frank Thompson
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Barack Obama, 111th Congress of the US
At the seminar will be the author of the new CRC Press book, JULIE ANN RACINO, who will discuss the status and development of community services in the health care financing era. Her new book, which is available as e-book, pay per view, or as textbooks, is also on kindles, ipods, android devices, and through browsers from google to mozilla firefox from Wordperfect to Microsoft Windows 7.1 to 10. Review copies are available to educators, though pay per view recommended. Other leading authors in the book are Steven E. Brown, Sherri Larson, Amy Hewitt, David Towell, John O'Brien, Carrie Blakeway, Lori Sedlezky, John Waters, Chris Hatton, among others.

Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this wonderful article really!
If someone want to know more about rehabilitation centers alabama I think this is the right place for you!
Hristo Yanev.
ReplyDeleteThe services offered at the rehabilitation center look wonderful and are very comprehensive, and all of us need to be able to walk after knee surgery, for example, and thus benefit from physical therapy. I'm a big fan of nursing, physicians, and medical-based rehabilitation services that have great family support and education.
However, an elder is not "able to benefit" (a term we have heard a billion times) and thus does not have the surgery, or has injury and will not be helped to walk, or is taken to walks they never did and reinjured.
However, the reason long-term services (LTSS) developed in areas such as intellectual disabilities, mental health, and brain injury was because other services and personnel are often necessary than on that list.
For example, while medical schools developed social day care for those with advanced Alzheimer's, two of the other major population groups were left in institutions indeed by physicians. And often, after a round of assessments, are again returned home or to a "home provider" (operated through health care financing) in 2016.
An example, from my 1970s is speech pathology; a switch to facilitiated communication (which is critically relational, too) is still fought in 2016. Another is inclusion of a mental health counselor in a rehabilitation unit, and the hospitals, since not their personnel, will not hire even though the administrator of it all may be less well educated. The same with schools - security before a mental health counselor.
Right now, I have the mass arrests at sexual offense are due to the training of your psychiatrists, and I am waiting for a copy of the curriculum. I found it in Czech Republic where 300,000 were reported in institutions and hundreds of thousands "assessed by the psychiatrists" in need of institutions.
Generally, rehabilitation has worked miracles for burn victims, for serious auto accidents, for individuals with paralysis, diverse medical conditions from cancer to childhood illnesses.
However, when the gaps come in, they are very big and very wide and for most, unexpected. Not everyone needs to do everything, but greater clarity is needed.
Thank you for the hello, and yes, rehabilitation is quite lucrative, but is not playing a positive role at involuntary care and mental health, as an example, for the most part (to specialty, Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers in US with new SciDs not in either).

ReplyDeleteHealth Care Financing in Summer 2016
August 12, 2016 registration on health care financing and local region on increasing hospital-based services (i.e., taking long term services and support funding for in-hospital services) and changing the "provider" and "owner" of the hospitals. These "state proposals involving local approvals or solicitations and funding" are effecting religious-based hospitals.
Of importance for the direct support workforce is that the hospital sector itself does not employ the qualified personnel of the LTSS sectors.In addition, the personnel in health and human services, mental health and education are not generally available for review (e.g., salary schedules, job classifications). US Department of Labor classifications also need revision for health and human services combined workers/management. Unionized state-regional positions are also critical.
Seminar, August 12, 9:30am -3:30 pm
Topic: Role of health care financing in the community in the 21st century
Inquiries today and tomorrow via 315-533-6592 between 1-3 pm only. Interest in Summer Registration 2017 (e.g., Housing, homes, sustainability, equity and inclusion)or consultant and speaker registration to same address.

ReplyDeleteFrom an ALL - Diversity often "forgets" disability so "there we go"; diversity in the "white American sense" can be found in the Square Market/Community and Policy Studies of Utica Monday Nite. All, when designed by different parties or "together", looks different; through experience, a "white woman" (defined so by "the other") will design a "white experience" (as said by "the other") therefore, obviously "she" should follow (e.g., black must lead now) or "the other" should get their own funds (for their own people). Green card lottery looks very good, and promising, but must be "white program". ALL, or "to each their own".
The rates for the seminars have not been requested on this site for Summer Registration 2016, Individual and Family Support in the Age of Obama and Health Care Financing in the Community.
ReplyDeleteThe two day seminars in 2015 were advertised at $500.00 for the two days, plus accommodations. The one day seminars in 2016 were $100.00 with accommodations (lakeside cabin) at $159.00 per night for single accommodations and $138.00 per night for double accommodations (with facility use). Tax exempt certificates required for exempt rates. The costs are inclusive of a luncheon and a continental breakfast.
The White Eagle personnel, skilled in conference planning themselves, were directly reachable via http://www.whiteagle.com and the multi-color flyers direct to the local area primarily were sent to "mental health facilities" and the non-profit industries.
The flyers advertised book author, Julie Ann Racino, as the primary speaker and host of the event, in conjunction with the newly released book, Public Administration and Disability: Community Services Administration in the US (Racino, 2015).
For those involved with the book, Personnel Preparation in Disability and Community Life (open book, amazon.com), the technical assistance plans developed and submitted and approved by the National Institute on Disability Research and Rehabilitation of the US Department of Education, in conjunction with "peer review selection", are no longer available through that venue. For the public, events from conferences to seminars through that avenue were "no cost" (actually in-kind, personnel) to the local and state governments, and to the non-profit industries, and to parent and consumer groups in states in the US.
Currently, at a $1 million per occurrence general liability gate of Syracuse University at "personnel changes" through retirements and deaths. Violation of "peer review" (required by law, and paid for by federal taxpayers -travel to DC to review the proposals) was reported at half million dollar per year proposals in 1993 ($5 million direct cash), and government involved did not (and likely will not) respond similar to closed contracting.
