The purpose of this study was to explore the factors of \"good collaboration,\" as evaluated separately by home care nurses (HNs), home helpers (HHs), and care managers (CMs). The relationship was examined between their evaluation of good collaboration and their recent actual experience of interprofessional collaborative work for a home-based EOL case. The questionnaire was returned nationwide by 378 HNs, 305 HHs, and 476 CMs, and data were collected on 177 EOL cases from HNs, 84 cases from HHs, and 123 cases from CMs. Evaluation of good collaboration by HNs was associated with working with a CM with whom they had multiple collaborative experiences, the client being independent for their toileting until just before dying, and sharing information regarding the client's EOL decision with an HH 1 month before dying. Evaluation of good collaboration by HHs was associated with working at an agency that collaborated with fewer CM agencies and working at an agency that allowed staff to visit dying clients. Evaluation of good collaboration by CMs was associated only with the client being dependent for toileting. Our results highlighted the characteristics of how each professional seeks to collaborate depending on their preparedness, contexts, and resultant expectations toward other professionals when entering the IPW for home-based EOL care. To promote good IPW for home-based EOL care further, professionals need to understand these differences among ourselves and try to meet others' expectations.</p>","PeriodicalId":80262,"journal":{"name":"Care management journals : Journal of case management ; The journal of long term home health care","volume":"16 3","pages":"129-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1891/1521-0987.16.3.129","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34167385","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}

There are, however, mixed results on its prediction of health care use. This quasi-experimental record review (N = 96) of a collaborative CM consortium examined predictors of health care use among older adults (aged older than 60 years) who had received CM for at least 6 months. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate models were used to predict differences in outcomes (hospitalization and emergency room [ER] visits) between participants who received CM and those who did not. Hospitalization rates were significantly lower among CM recipients. Living alone, identifying as White/non-Hispanic, and higher numbers of medications were significant copredictors of hospital use. CM was not a significant predictor of ER use. Race/ethnicity, however, remained significant in that White/non-Hispanic participants were 4 times likely to have at least 1 ER visit than persons of color. Implications for future research are discussed to promote better understanding of the effectiveness of CM, particularly within ethnically and racially diverse communities. Further inquiry is needed around the experiences of older adults of color, those who live alone, or who take multiple medications as needed.

We conducted a comprehensive literature search, which found 46 relevant articles on obesity in older adults and effects on nursing home facilities. This review indicated obesity is increasing globally for all age groups and older adults are facing increased challenges with chronic diseases associated with obesity more than ever before. With medical advances comes greater life expectancy, but obese adults often experience more disabilities, which require nursing home care. In the United States, the prevalence of obesity in adults aged 60 years and older increased from 9.9 million (23.6%) to 22.2 million (37.0%) in 2010. Obese older adults are twice as likely to be admitted to a nursing home. Many obese adults have comorbidities such as Type 2 diabetes; patients with diabetes incurred 1 in every 4 nursing home days. Besides the costs of early entrance into nursing facilities, caring for obese residents is different than caring for nonobese residents. Obese residents have more care needs for additional equipment, supplies, and staff costs. Unlike emergency rooms and hospitals, nursing homes do not have federal requirements that require them to serve all patients. Currently, some nursing homes are not prepared to deal with very obese patients. This is a public health concern because there are more obese people than ever in history before and the future appears to have even a heavier generation moving forward.
