Integrated Long-Term Care ‘Neighbourhoods’ to Support Older Populations
Western countries are currently facing the public health challenge of a rapidly aging population and the associated challenge of providing long-term care services to meet its needs with a reduced working age population. As people age, they will increasingly require both health and social care services to maintain their quality of life and these will need to be integrated to provide cost-effective long-term care. The World Health Organization reco…
Differing perspectives on a role for technology in care homes to improve the lives of older people and the work environment of staff
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to place the future development of technology within the existing reality of the diversity of care homes. Design/methodology/approach – Using the findings from a learning exercise, the paper illustrates “diversity” in terms of the meaning staff, relatives, and residents attach to the words “care home”. This tri-partite approach provides a basis for exploring types of technology that could, if appropriately i…
UK ethnicity data collection for healthcare statistics
This study confirmed that the collection of patients' ethnicity data is deemed important by potential patients but there remains uncertainty and unease as to how the data may be used. A common theme running through the focus groups was the willingness to provide these data, strongly accompanied by a desire to have more information with regard to its use
A ‘home for life’ in residential homes for older people in England
A three year in-depth study has examined three different models to improve care in residential homes for older people in England. The study showed that each aimed to provide a ‘home for life’ for residents. Using multi-source data gained from a range of qualitative and quantitative methods involving residential home managers, care staff, and extensive review of documentation related to key care functions, inhibitors and enhancers to the achieveme…
Breast and bowel cancer screening uptake patterns over 15 years for UK south Asian ethnic minority populations, corrected for differences in socio-demographic characteristics
The lower cancer screening uptakes observed for the South Asian population cannot be attributed to socio-economic, age or gender population differences. Although breast screening disparities have reduced over time, significant differences remain. We conclude that both programmes need to implement and assess interventions to reduce such differences
Access to health care for ethnic minority populations
This paper reviews the research evidence on access to health care by ethnic minority populations, and discusses what might need to be done to improve access to services. Research on the process of care, and the quality of care received, is considered as well as studies examining uptake of services. Changes in legal context are increasing the pressure on healthcare organisations to examine and adapt their services to ensure equitable access. Examp…

Factors affecting the outcome of maternity care. II. Neonatal outcomes and resources beyond the hospital of birth
Analysis of data about perinatal mortality and indicators of resources at maternity hospitals in the West Midlands region between 1977 and 1983 showed that paediatric staff ratios were inversely related to in-house mortality rates. In this paper, the outcomes for and resources used by transferred babies are added to those of the hospital of birth for three of the study years--1978, 1980, and 1982. Patterns of transfer differ between units and ove…
Factors affecting the outcome of maternity care. 1. Relationship between staffing and perinatal deaths at the hospital of birth
This is the first of two papers describing a retrospective study of maternity hospitals in an English health region using data for the years 1977-83. The research was designed to investigate the relationship between resources (such as staff and equipment) and the outcomes of births at maternity units. Considerable variation in medical and nursing staffing levels in the units in the study was observed. Regression analysis suggests that, after taki…
