Electronic information sharing within assessment and support planning has been identified as a means of promoting integrated care for adults with complex health and social care needs. Objective: To evaluate the implementation of a shared electronic record between nursing and adult social care practitioners in separate agencies and locations to inform the assessment of need for adults and older people with complex needs. Methods: The design of the study reflected the incremental implementation of the shared electronic record between 2010 and 2012 in one geographical area within England. It was a mixed-methods case study employing data from three sources: audit of patient case files; survey of nurse practitioners’ time use, well-being and job satisfaction; and manager interviews post-implementation providing further insights into the implementation process. Findings: Electronic information sharing facilitated greater involvement of adult social care practitioners in the continuing healthcare assessment process and contributed to a more streamlined service. No adverse effects of the intervention on the well-being and job satisfaction of nursing practitioners’ were reported. Limitations: This research was undertaken in a single setting. Implications: Continuing healthcare services are a universal service that uses a standardised assessment process, offering the potential for this to be replicated elsewhere. Thus, findings are of value to policy makers and practitioners and offer the potential to inform wider roll-out.","PeriodicalId":73807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of long-term care","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88005794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lacking any official guidance on how to adapt, day centres for homeless people had to navigate risks of infection and changes in the situation of homeless people during this time. Objective: This small study aimed to discover how some day centres for homeless people approached and experienced the implications of lockdown. The objective was to draw early learning points to inform further research on the future trajectory of day centre provision for homeless people during the pandemic and beyond. Methods: This rapid qualitative study included semi-structured phone interviews with day centre managers (n = 5) and a systematic search of public facing websites of day centres (n = 10) across four South London boroughs. Data were analysed inductively, using the framework method. Findings: Findings indicate three learning points 1: the importance of strong networks between day centres with local authorities and other organisations for homeless people to enable services to provide humanitarian assistance, 2: the significance of day centres in their role as humanitarian assistants as a first point of contact for newly homeless people 3: the value of a central information hub. Limitations: The regional focus on South London and the sample size, which reflects ethical imperatives involved in avoiding undue pressure on day centre staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, limit this study. The findings are to be considered as a springboard for in-depth research into day centres’ support for homeless people during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications: Findings are valuable as a snapshot of this largely under-researched group of services and service users during the first lockdown. Further research based on the findings could lead to good practice examples to inform the future trajectory of social care provision for homeless people. © 2021 The Author(s).","PeriodicalId":73807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of long-term care","volume":"138 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88213412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nursing home residents are a high-risk population; they live in congregate settings, often with shared rooms, and require hands-on care. Objectives: To assess state responses to the coronavirus pandemic related to nursing homes in the first half of 2020. Methods: An in-depth examination of 12 states’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in nursing homes through June 2020, using publicly reported information such as government decrees, health department guidance, and news reports. Findings: No state emerged as a model of care. All states faced difficulty with limited availability of testing and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). State-level efforts to increase pay and benefits as a strategy to enable infected staff to quickly physically separate from residents were minimal, and other separation strategies depended on the ability to obtain test results rapidly and on state rules regarding accepting discharged COVID-19 patients into nursing homes. Visitor restrictions to reduce risk were ubiquitous, though based on a slim evidence-base. Limitations: The information used was limited to that which was publicly available. Implications: Overall, the results suggest that the states that handle the ongoing pandemic in nursing homes best will be those that find ways to make sure nursing homes have the resources to follow best practices for testing, PPE, separation, and staffing. Evidence is needed on visitor restrictions and trans mission, as states and their citizens would benefit from finding safe ways to relax visitor restrictions.","PeriodicalId":73807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of long-term care","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87451921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: This interview-based study aimed to hear directly from PAs of their experiences during the pandemic to inform policy and practice. Methods: A sample of 41 PAs working in England were interviewed by telephone during the early months of Covid-19 (April–June 2020) in England. Interview data were analysed thematically and accounts of PAs’ engagement with their clients’ family members were explored. Findings: Study findings illustrate the fluidity of relationships at this time within four dimensions: 1) some family members working more closely with PAs, 2) the development of tensions between PAs and family members, 3) displacement by family members of PAs and other care services, 4) PA accounts of working with clients who had little or no family contact or other assistance during the pandemic. Limita -tions: This study did not interview family members to hear their views of the relationships and circum stances discussed by the PAs. Implications for research include a need to hear from other care workers operating as live-in PAs and from family members and employers and to follow-up with PAs as the pandemic progressed. Policy implications include the need to encourage contingency planning and to ensure support for PAs. Practice implications are for staff responsible for individualised funding to ensure PAs are known to their systems to enable their support.","PeriodicalId":73807,"journal":{"name":"Journal of long-term care","volume":"2014 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86731789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
