ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Ageing entails a variety of physiological changes that increase the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases. The prevalence of these diseases leads to an increase in the use of health services. The care models implemented by health systems should provide comprehensive long-term healthcare. We conducted this systematic review to determine whether any model of care for older persons have proven to be effective. METHODS: A systematic review of literature was carried out to identify randomised clinical trials that have assessed how effective a care model for older patients with chronic diseases. A searches electronic databases such as MEDLINE, Turning Research Into Practice Database, Cochrane Library and Cochrane Central Register of controlled Trials was conducted from January 1966 to January 2021. Two independent reviewers assessed the eligibility of the studies. Interventions were identified and classified according to the taxonomies developed by the Cochrane Effective Practice and Organisation of Care and Cochrane Consumers and Communication groups. RESULTS: Of the 4952 bibliographic references that were screened, 577 were potentially eligible and the final sample included 25 studies that evaluated healthcare models in older people with chronic diseases. In the 25 care models, the most frequently implemented interventions were educational, and those based on the provision of healthcare. Only 22% of the outcomes of interventions were identified as being effective, whereas 21% were identified as being partially effective; thus, more than 50% of the outcomes were identified as being ineffective. CONCLUSIONS: It was not possible to determine a care model as effective. The interventions implemented in the models are variable. The most effective outcomes were focused on improving the patient-healthcare professional relationship in the early stages of the intervention. The interventions addressed in the studies were similar to public health interventions as their main objectives focused on promoting health. Most studies were of low methodological quality.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Most people with chronic Chagas disease do not receive specific care and therefore are undiagnosed and do not receive accurate treatment. This manuscript discusses and evaluates a collaborative strategy to improve access to healthcare for patients with Chagas in Bolivia, a country with the highest prevalence of Chagas in the world. METHODS: With the aim of reinforcing the Chagas National Programme, the Bolivian Chagas Platform was born in 2009. The first stage of the project was to implement a vertical pilot program in order to introduce and consolidate a consensual protocol-based healthcare, working in seven centers (Chagas Platform Centers). From 2015 on the model was extended to 52 primary healthcare centers, through decentralized, horizontal scaling-up. To evaluate the strategy, we have used the WHO ExpandNet program. RESULTS: The strategy has significantly increased the number of patients cared for, with 181,397 people at risk of having T. cruzi infection tested and 57,871 (31·9%) new diagnostics performed. In those with treatment criteria, 79·2% completed the treatment. The program has also trained a significant number of health personnel through the specific Chagas guidelines (67% of healthcare workers in the intervention area). CONCLUSIONS: After being recognized by the Chagas National Programme as a healthcare model aligned with national laws and priorities, the Bolivian platform of Chagas as an innovation, includes attributes that they have made it possible to expand the strategy at the national level and could also be adapted in other countries.

ABSTRACT

To catalyze the discussion and implementation of state policies for an integrated continuum of long-term care (LTC), it is imperative to assemble strategic actions involving the public and private sectors, civil society, international agencies, professionals, academia, and the media, considering clear objectives for improving the lives of older adults, their families, and the communities where they live. Care may be provided at home, in the community, or at LTC facilities (LTCFs) for older adults. In this essay, we focused on institutional care. Tensions between advocates of different models of care for older people should include space for dialogue, convergence, and intersectoral actions, regardless of where LTC is provided. Conditions for LTCFs not to be perceived as the "last and undesirable alternative" should exist or be created so that these institutions are seen instead as welcoming, productive, and inclusive environments that are integrated to the community and its social, recreational, and health systems. The aim of this essay was to reflect on the urgency of developing an integrated continuum of LTC for older adults in Brazil that considers care as a right along with its modalities of delivery, flow, services, and activities, as well as sustainable financing alternatives and legal and governance directives. This work was divided into four sections: (1) aging as a social achievement and care as a right; (2) models of LTC and panorama of the sector in Brazil; (3) change in paradigms for conceiving LTCFs and LTC; and (4) framework for achieving an integrated continuum of LTC.


Para catalisar a discussão e a implementação de políticas de Estado para um continuum integrado de cuidados de longa duração (CLDs), é imperativo reunir ações estratégicas envolvendo os poderes público e privado, a sociedade civil, as agências internacionais, os profissionais, a academia e a mídia, considerando metas claras para melhorar a vida das pessoas idosas, de suas famílias e das comunidades em que vivem. Esses cuidados podem ser ofertados no domicílio, na comunidade e em instituições de longa permanência para idosos (ILPIs). Neste ensaio, o foco são os cuidados institucionais. É fundamental as tensões entre defensores de diferentes modelos de organização do cuidado com a pessoa idosa darem lugar a diálogos, aproximações e ações intersetoriais, independentemente de onde os CLDs sejam prestados. Devem existir (ou ser criadas) condições para que as ILPIs não sejam percebidas como "a última e indesejável alternativa", mas sim como ambientes acolhedores, produtivos, inclusivos e integrados à comunidade e aos seus sistemas sociais, recreativos e de saúde. O objetivo deste ensaio é refletir sobre a urgência do desenvolvimento de um continuum integrado de CLDs para idosos no Brasil, que considere o cuidado como direito, suas distintas modalidades de oferta, fluxo, serviços e atividades, bem como alternativas sustentáveis de financiamento e normativas legais e de governança. Está dividido em quatro seções: (1) O envelhecimento como uma conquista social e os cuidados como um direito; (2) Modelos de CLDs e o panorama do setor no Brasil; (3) Mudança de paradigmas na concepção de ILPIs e CLDs; e (4) Estrutura para construir um continuum integrado de CLDs.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To develop a collaborative, multidisciplinary care model for older adults that improves interdisciplinary teamwork and increases access to specialized services for frail patients, helping solve management problems in the Brazilian Unified Health System. In the state of Bahia, the health care network for older adults requires better interaction and integration with the Unified Health System and the Unified System of Social Assistance to improve patient flow in the network. METHODS: We used a co-creation and participatory action research approach based on reflection, data collection, interaction, and feedback with participants and stakeholders. Data was collected from health professionals, representatives of health agencies, and older adults through collective and individual interviews, reflective diaries, and direct communication. RESULTS: An action plan involving members of the older adult care network was developed to put the new model into practice. A pilot study with a multidisciplinary team allowed adjustments and implementation of the model at our institution. CONCLUSIONS: The new model improved both the internal management of the State Reference Center for Older Adult Health Care (Centro de Referência Estadual de Atenção à Saúde do Idoso - CREASI) and its interaction with primary care, optimizing patient flow and establishing rules for shared management between CREASI and primary care institutions. In view of this, restructuring the care model reorganized relations between the agencies, expanding CREASI's role in the management and systematization of older adult health.


OBJETIVO: Desenvolver um modelo assistencial colaborativo, multiprofissional e centrado na pessoa idosa para melhorar o trabalho em equipe interdisciplinar e o acesso de idosos frágeis ao serviço especializado, ajudando na resolução de problemas com o gerenciamento do idoso no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A rede de assistência à saúde do idoso na Bahia requer avanços na interação e na integração entre os órgãos do SUS e do Sistema Único de Assistência Social para melhorar o fluxo dos pacientes na rede. METODOLOGIA: Foi realizada uma pesquisa-ação participativa e cocriação baseadas na reflexão, coleta de dados, interação e feedback com participantes e partes interessadas. A coleta dos dados foi realizada com os profissionais de saúde, representantes dos órgãos de saúde e idosos por meio entrevistas coletivas e individuais, diários reflexivos e registros de comunicação direta. RESULTADOS: Foi elaborado um plano de ação com participação dos membros da rede de assistência ao idoso para colocar em prática o novo modelo. Realizou-se um piloto com uma equipe multidisciplinar que possibilitou ajustes e a implementação do modelo na instituição. CONCLUSÕES: O novo modelo favoreceu tanto o gerenciamento interno do Centro de Referência Estadual de Atenção à Saúde do Idoso (CREASI) como a interação com a atenção básica, otimizando o fluxo de pacientes e estabelecendo regras de gerenciamento compartilhado entre CREASI e atenção básica. Diante disso, a reestruturação do modelo assistencial representou uma reorganização das relações entre os órgãos, ampliando o papel do CREASI no gerenciamento e na sistematização da saúde do idoso.

ABSTRACT

Importance: Although a majority of underinsured and uninsured patients with cancer have multiple comorbidities, many lack consistent connections with a primary care team to manage chronic conditions during and after cancer treatment. This presents a major challenge to delivering high-quality comprehensive and coordinated care. Objective: To describe challenges and opportunities for coordinating care in an integrated safety-net system for patients with both cancer and other chronic conditions. Design, Setting, and Participants: This multimodal qualitative study was conducted from May 2016 to July 2019 at a county-funded, vertically integrated safety-net health system including ambulatory oncology, urgent care, primary care, and specialty care. Participants were 93 health system stakeholders (clinicians, leaders, clinical, and administrative staff) strategically and snowball sampled for semistructured interviews and observation during meetings and daily processes of care. Data collection and analysis were conducted iteratively using a grounded theory approach, followed by systematic thematic analysis to organize data, review, and interpret comprehensive findings. Data were analyzed from March 2019 to March 2020. Main Outcomes and Measures: Multilevel factors associated with experiences of coordinating care for patients with cancer and chronic conditions among oncology and primary care stakeholders. Results: Among interviews and observation of 93 health system stakeholders, system-level factors identified as being associated with care coordination included challenges to accessing primary care, lack of communication between oncology and primary care clinicians, and leadership awareness of care coordination challenges. Clinician-level factors included unclear role delineation and lack of clinician knowledge and preparedness to manage the effects of cancer and chronic conditions. Conclusions and Relevance: Primary care may play a critical role in delivering coordinated care for patients with cancer and chronic diseases. This study's findings suggest a need for care delivery strategies that bridge oncology and primary care by enhancing communication, better delineating roles and responsibilities across care teams, and improving clinician knowledge and preparedness to care for patients with cancer and chronic conditions. Expanding timely access to primary care is also key, albeit challenging in resource-limited safety-net settings.

ABSTRACT

Most children and adolescents with behavioral and mental health concerns first present to their pediatricians. Although pediatricians are fully cognizant of the importance of addressing behavioral and mental health concerns, they often find it difficult to deliver such care effectively and efficiently within a typical practice setting. Integration of medical and behavioral health care has emerged as a model to deliver such care. In the pediatric primary care practice, integrated behavioral health has been shown to be a cost-effective way to deliver high-quality care. This article describes basic definitions and contexts of integrated pediatric behavioral health.

ABSTRACT

The primary care pediatric setting is intended to provide continuous and comprehensive care throughout a child's life, ensuring overall well-being. Routinely scheduled well-child visits are ideal to assess developmental progress, environmental health, behavior/psychosocial issues, and other concerns. Delivering integrated behavioral health (IBH) in the primary care setting may aid in identifying any early concerns or difficulties and provides resources and support when these issues first emerge; thus, promoting the child's well-being. IBH should be engaged early and often to establish a relationship with families and follow them as the child develops, regardless of the presence of a precipitating behavior concern.

ABSTRACT

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is common in the United States and leads to significant morbidity, mortality, and economic costs. Simplified screening recommendations and highly effective direct-acting antivirals for HCV present an opportunity to eliminate HCV. The objective of this study was to increase testing, linkage to care, treatment, and cure of HCV. This was an observational, prospective, population-based intervention program carried out between September 2014 and September 2018 and performed in three community health centers, three large multiclinic health care systems, and an HCV patient education and advocacy group in King County, WA. There were 232,214 patients included based on criteria of documented HCV-related diagnosis code, positive HCV laboratory test or prescription of HCV medication, and seen at least once at a participating clinical site in the prior year. Electronic health record (EHR) prompts and reports were created. Case management linked patients to care. Primary care providers received training through classroom didactics, an online curriculum, specialty clinic shadowing, and a telemedicine program. The proportion of baby boomer patients with documentation of HCV testing increased from 18% to 54% during the project period. Of 77,577 baby boomer patients screened at 87 partner clinics, 2,401 (3%) were newly identified HCV antibody positive. The number of patients staged for treatment increased by 391%, and those treated increased by 1,263%. Among the 79% of patients tested after treatment, 95% achieved sustained virologic response. Conclusion: A combination of EHR-based health care system interventions, active linkage to care, and clinician training contributed to a tripling in the number of patients screened and a more than 10-fold increase of those treated. The interventions are scalable and foundational to the goal of HCV elimination.

ABSTRACT

In 2014, the Danish government launched a plan for health entitled: "Healthier lives for everyone - national goals for the health of Danes within the next 10 years". The overall objective is to prolong healthy years of life and to reduce inequality in health. In Denmark, the responsibility for health and social care is shared between the central government, the regions and the municipalities. National and local strategies seek to enhance public health through national and local initiatives initiated by different stakeholders. The Danish community pharmacies also contribute to promoting public health through distribution of and counselling on medication in the entire country and through offering several pharmacy services, six of which are fully or partly remunerated on a national level. Because of greater demands from patients, health care professionals and society and a lack of general practitioners, the Danish community pharmacies now have the opportunity to suggest several new functions and services or to extend existing services. The Danish pharmacy law changed in 2015 with the objective to maintain and develop community pharmacies and to achieve increased patient accessibility. The change in the law made it possible for every community pharmacy owner to open a maximum of seven pharmacy branches (apart from the main pharmacy) in a range of 75 km. This change also increased the competition between community pharmacies and consequently the pharmacies are now under financial pressure. On the other hand, each pharmacy may have been given an incentive to develop their specific pharmacy and become the best pharmacy for the patients. Community pharmacies are working to be seen as partners in the health care system. This role is in Denmark increasingly being supported by the government through the remunerated pharmacy services and through contract with municipalities. Concurrent with the extended tasks for the Danish community pharmacies and utilisation of their excellent competencies in medication the community pharmacies need to focus on their main tasks of supplying medicines and implementing services. This requires efficient management, an increased use of technology for distribution and communication and continuing education and training

ABSTRACT

Germany is the highest populated country in Europe with a population of 82.3 million in 2019. As in many other developed countries, it has an aging population. Approximately 10% of the gross domestic product is spent on healthcare. The healthcare system is characterized by its accessibility. Patients are generally free to choose their primary care physicians, both family doctors and specialists, pharmacy, dentist, or emergency service. Up to a certain income, health insurance is mandatory with the statutory health insurance (SHI) system, covering 88% of the population. Major challenges are the lack of cooperation and integration between the different sectors and healthcare providers. This is expected to change with the introduction of a telematic infrastructure that is currently being implemented. It will not only connect all providers in primary and secondary care in a secure network but will also enable access to patients' electronic record/medical data and at the same time switch from paper to electronic prescriptions. Approximately 52,000 of the 67,000 pharmacists are working in approximately 19,000 community pharmacies. These pharmacies are owner-operated by a pharmacist. Pharmacists may own up to three subsidiaries nearby to their main pharmacy. Community pharmacy practice mainly consists of dispensing drugs, counselling patients on drug therapy and safety, and giving advice on lifestyle and healthy living. Many cognitive pharmaceutical services have been developed and evaluated in the past 20 years. Discussions within the profession and with stakeholders on the national level on the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists have resulted in nationally agreed guidelines, curricula, and services. However, cognitive services remunerated by the SHI funds on the national level remain to be negotiated and sustainably implemented. A law passed in November 2020 by parliament will regulate the remuneration of pharmaceutical services by the SHI funds with an annual budget of EUR 150 million. The type of services and their remuneration remain to be negotiated in 2021. The profession has to continue on all levels to advocate for a change in pharmacy practice by introducing pharmacy services into routine care

ABSTRACT

Finland's community pharmacy system provides an example of a privately-owned regulated system being proactively developed by the profession and its stakeholders. Community pharmacists have a legal duty to promote safe and rational medicine use in outpatient care. The development of professionally oriented practice has been nationally coordinated since the 1990s with the support of a national steering group consisting of professional bodies, authorities, pharmacy schools and continuing education centers. The primary focus has been in patient counseling services and public health programs. The services have extended towards prospective medication risk management applying evidence-based tools, databases and digitalization. Research has been essential in informing progress by indicating high-risk patients, medications, practices and processes needing improvement. Despite the commitment of the profession and pharmacy owners, large-scale implementation of services has been challenging because of lack of remuneration, the pharmacy income still consisting primarily of sale of prescription and nonprescription medicines. Policy documents by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health have supported the extension of the community pharmacists' role beyond traditional dispensing to promote rational pharmacotherapy. The current roadmap by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health emphasizes ensuring adequate regional availability and accessibility of medicines, regardless of the future pharmacy system. It also emphasizes the importance of strong regulation on pharmacy business operations and sale of medicines to ensure medication safety. At the same time, the roadmap requires that the regulation must enable implementation of new patient-oriented services and procedures, and further promote digitalization in service provision. Competition and balance of funding should be enhanced, e.g., through price competition, but the risk of pharmaceutical market concentration should be managed. The regulation should also consider influence of the new social and health care system on drug delivery. Year 2021 will be crucial for making long-term political decisions on the future direction of tasks and finances of Finnish community pharmacies in this framework. Government-funded studies are underway to guide decision making. Ongoing Covid-19 crisis has demonstrated the readiness of Finnish community pharmacies to adapt fast to meet the changing societal needs

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To develop two practice-site-level measures of comprehensiveness and examine their associations with patient outcomes, and how their performance differs from physician-level measures. DATA SOURCES: Medicare fee-for-service claims. STUDY DESIGN: We calculated practice-site-level comprehensiveness measures (new problem management and involvement in patient conditions) across 5286 primary care physicians (PCPs) at 1339 practices in the Comprehensive Primary Care initiative evaluation in 2013. We assessed their associations with practices' attributed beneficiaries' 2014 total Medicare expenditures, hospitalization rates, ED visit rates. We also examined variation in PCPs' comprehensiveness across PCPs within practices versus between primary care practices. Finally, we compared associations of practice-site and PCP-level measures with outcomes. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The measures had good variation across primary care practices, strong validity, and high reliability. Receiving primary care from a practice at the 75th versus 25th percentile on the involvement in patient conditions measure was associated with $21.93 (2.8%) lower total Medicare expenditures per beneficiary per month (P < .01). Receiving primary care from a practice at the 75th versus 25th percentile on the new problem management measure was associated with $14.77 (1.9%) lower total Medicare expenditures per beneficiary per month (P < .05); 8.84 (3.0%) fewer hospitalizations (P < .001), and 21.27 (3.1%) fewer ED visits per thousand beneficiaries per year (P < .01). PCP comprehensiveness varied more within than between practices. CONCLUSIONS: More comprehensive primary care practices had lower Medicare FFS expenditures, hospitalization, and ED visit rates. Both PCP and practice-site level comprehensiveness measures had strong construct and predictive validity; PCP-level measures were more precise.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O Brasil está passando pelo envelhecimento demográfico mais rápido do mundo. No Brasil o segmento populacional que mais aumenta é o de idosos, com taxas de crescimento acima de 4% ao ano no período de 2012 a 2022. As consequências desse crescimento são o aumento das demandas assistenciais, previdenciárias, econômica, familiares e de saúde para atender esse segmento. Além disso, os sistemas de atenção à saúde são fragmentados, atuam de forma isolada, sem uma comunicação entre os pontos de cuidado, ou seja, a atenção primária à saúde não se comunica fluidamente com a atenção secundária à saúde e esses dois também não se comunicam com a atenção terciária, nem com os sistemas de apoio. Nesse contexto, e pensando na contribuição para a melhoria da assistência prestada ao paciente idoso portador de doença crônica, emerge a questão norteadora: na elaboração de um plano de gestão para alta responsável, que categorias deverão ser contempladas para atender o idoso de forma integral e integrada durante a internação e alta hospitalar, com vistas a continuidade do cuidado pela Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS)? Objetivos: O principal foi elaborar o plano de gestão para alta responsável de pacientes idosos com doenças crônicas como estratégia para a transição segura do cuidado e sua continuidade na APS. Os objetivos específicos foram: Identificar as categorias fundamentais que devem compor o plano de gestão para alta responsável e validar as categorias e orientações a serem apresentados no Deshospitaliza- Plano de Gestão para Alta Responsável. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativo, com uso da técnica de grupo focal (segunda etapa do estudo) e método Delphi (etapa de validação do plano de alta). Resultados: A partir dos resultados obtidos com o grupo focal foram identificadas as seguintes categorias: acolhimento e porta de entrada; planejamento para alta responsável; atenção centrada na pessoa e educação em saúde e, posteriormente, obteve a validação da mesmas (IVC=0,97 e coeficiente de kappa=0,87), bem como das orientações presentes no plano de gestão para alta responsável de pacientes idoso com doenças crônicas. Conclusão: A produção técnica desta pesquisa caracteriza-se como uma tecnologia leve dura que se propõem a operar no processo de trabalho em saúde, pensando num cuidado integral, considerando o conjunto de necessidades e riscos do usuário, com articulação pactuada entre profissionais de diferentes setores do hospital ou pontos de atenção à saúde. Tem alto impacto social por ser um documento norteador para os hospitais federais no Rio de Janeiro, podendo ser referência para demais unidades hospitalares estaduais e nacionais


Introduction: Brazil is experiencing the fastest demographic aging in the world. In Brazil, the population segment that most increases is the elderly, with growth rates above 4% per year in the period from 2012 to 2022. The consequences of this growth are the increase in assistance, social security, economic, family and health demands to serve this segment . In addition, health care systems are fragmented, acting in isolation, without communication between the points of care, that is, primary health care does not communicate fluently with secondary health care and these two do not communicate either. communicate with tertiary care or support systems. In this context, and considering the contribution to the improvement of the care provided to elderly patients with chronic illness, the guiding question emerges: in the elaboration of a management plan for senior managers, which categories should be considered to fully assist the elderly and integrated during hospitalization and hospital discharge, with a view to the continuity of care through Primary Health Care (PHC)? Objectives: main The was and laboring the management plan for the igh responsible of elderly patients with chronic diseases like and stratégia for safe transition of care and continuity in the APS. The objectives specific were: Identify the key categories that should be included in the management plan for the igh responsible e v Alidar categories and guidelines to be presented at Deshospitaliza- Management Plan for the igh responsible. Method: This is a descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative and quantitative approach, using the focus group technique (second stage of the study) and the Delphi method (stage of validation of the discharge plan). Results: Based on the results obtained with the focus group, the following categories were identified: reception and entrance door; planning for senior management; person-centered attention and health education and subsequently obtained their validation (CVI = 0.97 and kappa coefficient = 0.87), as well as the guidelines in the management plan for responsible discharge of elderly patients with diseases chronic. Conclusion: This is a tough lightweight technology that purport to operate r n health work process, thinking n integral care, considering the set of user needs and risks, with the agreed coordination between professionals from different sectors hospital or health care points. It has a high social impact as it is a guiding document for federal hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, and can be a reference for other state and national hospital units.
