Long-term Care for the Rural Elderly by Graham D. Rowles,Wayne W. Myers Pdf

"In this book, the editors review the status of today's fragmented rural long-term care system and trace the trends in its philosophy, policies, and programs. The chapters progress from an analysis of the constraints and shortcomings of access to focus on remedies and strategies for improving care and delivery of services. The book includes a set of seven guiding principles and a series of specific programmatic recommendations for enhancing rural long-term care as we move into the 21st century." "The contributors, whose research was supported by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), represent collective expertise in health policy research, sociology, nursing, rural medicine, and management."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Health Care in Rural America by Anonim Pdf

Health needs and health services in rural America are key issues directly related to education as well as community well-being. This report examines rural America's access to basic health care services and discusses options for congressional consideration. The focus is on trends in availability of primary and acute rural health care and on factors affecting those trends. The report describes the characteristics of rural populations and health programs, the availability of rural health services and personnel, and delivery of rural maternal and infant health and mental health care services. On each subject, options for congressional action are examined. The federal government currently finances several different types of rural health care programs, and has a strong interest in health care trends. Major declines in inpatient utilization, compounded by increasing amounts of uncompensated care, have undermined the financial health of many rural hospitals, which also are faced with the outmigration of rural residents to urban areas for care. Policy reform options are presented in regard to: (1) improvement of rural health facilities; (2) availability and training of health professionals in rural areas; and (3) enhancing maternal and infant care programs and mental health care programs in rural areas. This document contains numerous charts, graphics, data tables, and appendices that present background information about the study. It also includes a 745-item bibliography and a subject index.

Rural America by Caroline S. Kelsohn Pdf

Thomas Jefferson once envisioned the United States as a 'nation of yeomen farmers'. Looking around today, however, illustrates that nothing could be further from the truth. In a globalised world and techno-centred society, urban sprawl is overtaking rural America. For over a century, farming was the backbone of the American economy, and though it is still critical to American productivity, many rural areas are plagued by poverty and job reduction. Agricultural issues have a hold over national politics (as in the debates over farm subsidies), but they cannot change several significant trends in America today: the movement toward fewer and larger farms, environmental pressures from urban and suburban interests, and changing food consumption patterns. In order to assist the remaining 'yeomen farmers', a comprehensive and integrated agricultural policy must be initiated to sustain the nation's farming communities. This book analyses the status of the farm industry in rural America, providing a historical context for agriculture and assessing its future for the nation. and the information provided in this book is necessary to understanding the nature of what has historically been a key component of American industry and life.
