Abstract

Technology is quickly becoming an integral part of care systems across the world and is frequently cited in policy discourse as pivotal for solving the 'crisis' in care and delivering positive outcomes. Exploring the role of technology in Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan, this book examines how technology contributes effectively to the sustainability of these different care systems which are facing similar emergent pressures, including increased longevity, falling fertility and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It considers the challenges and opportunities of embedding technologies in care systems and the subsequent outcomes for older and disabled service users, carers and the care workforce.

Abstract

This work is intended as a brief but focused compilation to assist with diagnosis and management of the most common serious medical problems in the rapidly growing geriatric population. The geriatric population recently expanded by the fact that the baby boomers have reached the milestone of 65 years of age in the past 5 years. Tips for diagnosis, medication administration, and logistics of cost-effective management in the health-care continuum are presented in this book. The latter often consists of a journey from home to medical office to emergency room to hospital bed to intensive care unit to long-term acute care hospital to skilled nursing facility to long-term residential facility and/or back home, which is also reviewed in the book Geriatrics.

Abstract

COVID-19 has brought unprecedented challenges in the care of older adults. During the first surge of the pandemic, governments all over the world struggled with high disease severity and increased mortality among older adults. This work documents the impact of the pandemic by collating information from different countries and by synthesizing inputs from several knowledge domains--Sociology, Gerontology, Geriatrics, Medicine and Public Health. The impact on older adults is examined primarily with respect to three main issues--pervasive ageism, spread of infections in care homes worldwide, and the unintended harm of public health measures on geriatric population in different care settings. The complex tensions between epidemic control and the need to respond to social and economic imperatives are investigated with respect to disadvantaged and vulnerable older adults. The book also critically examines international ageing policies with the intention of identifying gaps in pandemic response in particular, and approaches to older adult care in general. In the light of the evidence presented, lessons are drawn which might improve aged care and strengthen emergency preparedness. Finally, considering the evolving nature of the pandemic, new international responses to older adult care and pandemic management are presented as an epilogue. It is anticipated that the book would help nourish critical thinking and implement new solutions to older care during and beyond the pandemic

Abstract

Deuxième numéro de la collection Sâges, initiée par la Chaire de médecine générale, l’ouvrage que vous tenez en mains est consacré à un nouveau thème ayant trait à la personne âgée : les échelles d’évaluation. Les soins procurés à « nos vieux » se sont vus progressivement empreints des avancées de la science, et, avec elle, d’instruments de mesure. C’est sur cette réalité que nous avons voulu porter des éclairages issus de différentes disciplines et de diverses expériences : le regard du médecin généraliste de terrain, du gériatre, du chercheur, du sociologue, du philosophe.

Abstract

Vor dem Hintergrund der Notwendigkeit von (Alten)Pflege - Stichwort: demografischer Wandel - und der Veränderungen im Bereich der Kinderbetreuung stellen sich viele Fragen nach Generationen- und Geschlechterarrangements. Die AutorInnen beleuchten die zentralen Fragestellungen mit Blick auf Praxisfelder: Ganztagsschule, Kinderbetreuung, Altenpflege - und sparen auch das Problem der Schattenwirtschaft nicht aus: vornehmlich Frauen, häufig mit Migrationshintergrund, die in deutschen Haushalten illegal in der Pflege arbeiten.

Abstract

This study reports on the latest trends in long-term care policies in nineteen OECD countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It studies lessons learned from countries that undertook major reforms over the past decade. Trends in expenditure, financing and the number of care recipients are analysed based on new data on cross-country differences. Special attention is given to experience with programmes that provide consumers of services with a choice of care options, including cash to family caregivers. Concise country profiles of long-term care systems and an overview on demography and living situations of older persons make this complex policy field more accessible.

Abstract

Longevity at older ages is likely to continue to rise in the medium and longer term. This volume explores how the private and public sectors can collaborate via public-private partnerships (PPPs) to develop new mechanisms to reduce older people's risk of outliving their assets in later life.

Abstract

Cette étude rend compte des dernières évolutions des politiques en matière de soins de longue durée dans dix-neuf pays de l'OCDE : l'Allemagne, l'Australie, l'Autriche, le Canada, la Corée, l'Espagne, les États-Unis, la Hongrie, l'Irlande, le Japon, le Luxembourg, le Mexique, la Norvège, la Nouvelle-Zélande, les Pays-Bas, la Pologne, le Royaume-Uni, la Suède et la Suisse. Elle étudie les enseignements tirés de l'expérience des pays ayant engagé des réformes de grande ampleur au cours des dix dernières années. L'évolution des dépenses, des financements et du nombre des bénéficiaires des soins est analysée sur la base de données nouvelles concernant les différences observées d'un pays à l'autre. Une attention particulière est accordée aux programmes qui proposent diverses solutions aux consommateurs de ces services, et notamment aux prestations en espèces aux aidants naturels. Des profils concis des systèmes nationaux de soins de longue durée et un aperçu de la démographie et des conditions de vie des personnes âgées rendent plus accessible ce domaine politique complexe.
