ABSTRACT

Long-term care (LTC) for older adults is an essential part of how health and social care systems respond to population ageing. Different long-term care systems in different countries have taken differing approaches to quality assurance, ranging from inspection-based regulatory systems to data and reporting-based regulatory systems. The significant variability in the ability of long-term care facilities to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased recognition of the role of standardized data in informing structured approaches to quality assurance. The International Prevalence Measurement of Care Quality (in Dutch: Landelijke Prevalentiemeting Zorgkwaliteit ­ LPZ) was developed to guide continuous quality improvement in long-term care facilities. This special article describes the LPZ tool, developed to provide input for the learning and improvement cycle of multidisciplinary teams in the LTC sector and to help improve care quality.


O cuidado de longa duração para idosos é uma parte essencial de como os sistemas de cuidados sociais e de saúde respondem ao envelhecimento da população. Distintos países e seus sistemas de cuidados de longa duração adotaram abordagens diferentes para a garantia da qualidade, que vão desde sistemas regulatórios baseados em inspeção até sistemas regulatórios baseados em dados e relatórios. A variabilidade significativa testemunhada entre as instituições de cuidados de longa duração em sua capacidade de responder à pandemia de COVID-19 levou a um maior reconhecimento do papel de dados padronizados para informar abordagens estruturadas para a garantia de qualidade. A Medição de Prevalência Internacional de Qualidade de Atendimento (em holandês: Landelijke Prevalentiemeting Zorgkwaliteit ­ LPZ) foi desenvolvida para orientar as unidades de cuidados de longa duração nas etapas de melhoria contínua da qualidade. Este artigo especial descreve a ferramenta LPZ, desenvolvida para fornecer subsídios para o ciclo de aprendizagem e melhoria de equipes multidisciplinares no setor de cuidados de longa duração e contribuir para a melhoria da qualidade do cuidado.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivou-se identificar e analisar na literatura nacional e internacional se e como o tema da violência é abordado nos estudos de políticas públicas de atenção ao idoso albergado em Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos. Realizou-se revisão integrativa da literatura publicada entre 2010 e agosto de 2016. Foram consultadas as principais bases bibliográficas utilizando-se os descritores: "idoso", "políticas públicas","instituição de longa permanência para idosos","asilo", "casa de repouso" e "ILPI", nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Analisou-se 77 artigos, sendo 12 brasileiros e 65 estrangeiros, dos quais 30 são dos Estados Unidos. A análise mostrou que muitos países possuem políticas de cuidados de longa duração que regem as modalidades dos serviços que os fornecem. Somente oito artigos abordaram a questão da violência no interior das ILPI no âmbito das políticas de proteção ao idoso e afirmam que países da América Latina e da Ásia precisam avançar nesta pauta e colocar o tema da violência contra idosos na agenda de prioridades. Nenhum artigo brasileiro abordou o tema diretamente, embora tenha ficado claro que paira sobre as ILPI a negligência institucional e outras formas de violências.


Abstract This paper aimed to identify and analyze in national and international literature whether and how the theme of violence is addressed in the studies of public policies for older adults in Long-Term Care Institutions (LTCI). We conducted an integrative review of the published literature between 2010 and August 2016. The primary bibliographic databases were consulted using descriptors "idoso", "políticas públicas", "instituição de longa permanência para idosos", "asilo", "casa de repouso" and "ILPI" in Portuguese and their equivalent in English and Spanish. A total of 77 papers were analyzed, of which 12 were Brazilian and 65 were foreign (of these, 30 were from the U.S.). The analysis showed that many countries have long-term care policies governing the modalities of service providers. Only eight works addressed the issue of violence within LTCIs within older adults' protection policies, and affirm that countries in Latin America and Asia must advance this agenda and place the issue of violence against seniors on the agenda of priorities. No Brazilian paper addressed the issue directly, although it has become clear that neglect and other forms of violence hang over Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly (LTCIEs).

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the experience in the implementation of the Humanitude Care Methodology (MCH) in the humanization of care for the elderly. Methodology: This is an experience report about the implementation of the MCH, in a Health Service in Portugal, with capacity for 30 elderly people, most of them having cognitive alterations. Results: The implementation of the MCH has shown positive results in the humanization of care for the elderly, namely in the reduction of agitation behaviors and better acceptance of care. There was a change in organizational culture, more focused on the person and on the humanization of care. Conclusion: The results reflect the need to introduce innovative care methodologies in the training of health professionals, with a focus on interaction, for a professionalized relational care that dignifies the person cared for and the care giver.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Objectives of this study were to investigate the association between efficiency and quality of health care in Long-term Care Hospitals (LTCH) and determine related factors that would enable achievement of both high efficiency and high quality at the same time. METHODS: Major data sources were the "2012 Korean Assessment of Propriety by Long-term Care Hospitals" obtained from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. Cost variables were supplemented by a National Tax Service accounting document. First, data envelopment analysis was performed by generating efficiency scores for each LTCH. Second, matrix analysis was conducted to ascertain association between efficiency and quality. Lastly, kruskal-wallis and mann-whitney tests were conducted to identify related factors. RESULTS: First, efficiency and quality of care are not in a relationship of trade-offs; thus, LTCH can be confident that high efficiency-high quality can be achieved. Second, LTCH with a large number of beds, longer tenure of medical personnel, and adequate levels of investment were more likely to have improved quality as well as efficiency. CONCLUSION: It is essential to enforce legal standards appropriate to the facilities, reduce turnover of nursing staff, and invest properly in human resources. These consequences will help LTCH to maintain the balance of high efficiency-high quality in the long-run.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To develop outcome indicators of urinary incontinence to measure quality of care in long term care hospitals in Korea. METHODS: The draft indicators of urinary incontinence were developed from a literature review and clinical expert panel. A survey of medical records of 280 patients in 20 hospitals was conducted to test inter-rater reliability. Statistical analysis was done to test risk adjustment criteria, variation between hospitals, and stability of indicators, using assessment data from 77,918 patients in 623 hospitals. RESULTS: The inter-rater reliability of items was high (Kappa range: 0.66-0.92). Severe cognitive impairment (odds ratio [OR]: 3.15, confidence interval [CI]: 3.03-3.26) and total mobility activities of daily living (ADLs) dependency (OR: 4.85, CI: 4.72-4.98) increased the prevalence of urinary incontinence, thus they proved to be significant criteria to stratify high and low risk groups. The prevalence for low risk showed more substantial variation than the high risk group. The indicators were stable over one month. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the feasibility of outcome indicators of urinary incontinence. Improving the reliability of the patient assessment tool and refining the indicators through validation study is a must for future study.
