Title: The Continuum of Care


1
The Continuum of Care
  • An Integrated System of Delivery

2
Continuum of Care
  • I could be handy, mending a fuse, when your
    lights have gone.
  • You can knit a sweater by the fireside, sunday
    mornings, go for a ride.
  • Doing the garden, digging the weeds, who could
    ask for more?
  • Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
    when I'm sixty four?

3
Continuum of Care
  • What is a Continuum of Care?
  • What does integrated service system of delivery
    mean?

4
Continuum of Care - Definition
  • Multifaceted and combines aspects of both health
    and social services.
  • An amalgamation of diverse categories of service
    integrated by an overall system of service
    delivery.
  • A system of service delivery.
  • Efficiency and effectiveness is based on
    constituent parts and the nature of the system.

5
Continuum of Care
  • Continuing Care
  • A system of service delivery that includes all
    services provided by home and residential care.
  • Care continues over a long period of time.
  • Integrated program of care continues across
    service components a continuum of care.

6
Continuum of Care
  • Long Term Care represents a range of services
    that address the health, social and personal care
    needs of individuals who, for one reason or
    another, have never developed or have lost some
    capacity for self care.
  • Services may be continuous or intermittent, but
    will be long term, idefinate to individuals who
    have demonstrated need, usually by functional
    incapacity.

7
Continuum of Care
  • Home Care
  • Maintenance and Preventative Model
  • Serves people with health and/or functional
    deficits in the home setting, both maintaining
    their ability to live independently and in many
    cases preventing health and functional
    breakdowns, and eventual instituionalization.

8
Continuum of Care
  • Home Care
  • Long Term Care Substitution Model
  • Home care meets the needs of people who would
    otherwise require institutionalization
  • Acute Care Substitution Model
  • Home care meets the needs of people who would
    otherwise have to remain in, or enter, acute care
    facilities.

9
Continuum of Care
  • Elements of Continuing Care
  • Single Entry
  • Consistent screening mechanism ensuring those
    with appropriate needs are provided services.
  • One stop shopping for care services.
  • Point of access to a comprehensive range of
    services within the system of care.

10
Continuum of Care
  • Elements of Continuing Care
  • Coordinated Assessment and Placement
  • Determines needs and development of system level
    care plan for the client.
  • Access to care in any of the components of the
    service delivery system.
  • Leads to most appropriate service provision.
  • Same client data on admission to system.

11
Continuum of Care
  • Elements of Continuing Care
  • Coordinated Case Management
  • Regular monitoring and review of client needs,
    adjustment of care plans based on changing needs,
    to best match needs and services provided.
  • Reduces likelihood of admission to acute care
    hospital due to lack of regular monitoring
    (system efficiencies).

12
Continuum of Care
  • Elements of Continuing Care
  • Coordination of Clinical Clients
  • Contact with single point of entry.
  • Screening process assessment takes place
  • Case manager assigned, visit scheduled.
  • Assessment determines needs, supports, identifies
    services required.
  • Care plan developed for accessing services

13
Continuum of Care
  • Elements of Continuing Care
  • Single System Level Admin and Funding
  • Ease for reallocation of funding between home and
    residential settings.
  • Policies are developed in the context of the
    total continuing care system.
  • Clients needs are better met.
  • Planning and resource allocation at the system
    level.

14
Continuum of Care
  • Elements of Continuing Care
  • Consistent, system level, client classification
    system
  • Allows for the comparison of clients across
    service delivery components by the level of care,
    that is, an apples to apples comparison.
  • Clients treated at most cost effective location.

15
Continuum of Care
  • Having a well-integrated system of service
    delivery, based on a continuum of care
    characterized by single entry, coordinated
    assessment and placement, and coordianted care
    management, and supported by effective management
    and the capacity to plan at a systemwide level,
    should result in an efficient, effective,
    equitable and affordable method of providing care
    to those in need.

  • happiness" in Cantonese, and this reflects both
  • our roots and our philosophy of care.
  • Through five related not-for-profit entities, On
    Lok provides healthcare, housing and
    intergenerational programs that meet the needs of
    seniors.

    health and personal care, social work services
    and hospital and nursing home care.  
  • Our vision is to continually lead the movement to
    improve care for the elderly.

21
Continuum of Care
  • The Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly
    (PACE) model is centered around the belief that
    it is better for the well-being of seniors with
    chronic care needs and their families to be
    served in the community whenever possible.
  • PACE serves individuals who are aged 55 or older,
    certified by their state to need nursing home
    care, able to live safely in the community at the
    time of enrollment, and live in a PACE service
    area. Although all PACE participants must be
    certified to need nursing home care to enroll in
    PACE, only about seven percent of PACE
    participants reside in a nursing home nationally.
    If a PACE enrollee does need nursing home care,
    the PACE program pays for it and continues to
    coordinate his or her care.

22
Continuum of Care

    services, care is coordinated and delivered by a
    dedicated team of

  • Transportation Staff

23
Continuum of Care

    addressed. Based on participant and caregiver
    input, the team puts together an individualized
    healthcare plan and then continuously assesses
    the participants status. Treatment and services
    are adjusted to suit the members situation as
    healthcare needs change.

    home in the community, with a complete program of

  • Our primary focus is on preventative measures to
    maintain the health and well-being of our
