Summary
Shifting aged care from institutions to home care programs is feasible. Stricter admission policies for residential homes are unlikely to reduce occupancy below 7% due to high support needs.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Public Health Policy
- Social Welfare Systems
Context:
- Analysis of the Dutch health and welfare system for the aged.
- Focus on the potential shift from institutional care (homes for the aged) to community-based care (home care programs).
- Examination of planned restricted admission-norms within the Netherlands' old-age policy.
Purpose:
- To assess the feasibility of substituting institutional care with community care for the elderly.
- To evaluate the impact of stricter admission policies on the occupancy rates of residential homes for the aged.
- To determine if the elderly requiring residential care meet stricter admission criteria.
Summary:
- An analysis of elderly individuals seeking residential care admission indicates a significant need for support, suggesting a shift to community care is possible.
- Despite planned stricter admission-norms in the Netherlands, a decline in residential home occupancy below the 7% norm is unlikely.
- The majority of elderly individuals seeking residential care possess substantial support needs, aligning with stricter admission requirements.
Impact:
- Provides evidence for the potential transition towards more community-integrated care models for aging populations.
- Informs policy decisions regarding admission criteria and resource allocation in elderly care services.
- Highlights the persistent and significant support needs of the elderly population, regardless of policy changes.

01:26Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...

01:11Secondary Healthcare System
Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...
01:19Restorative Care
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:15Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...
