Objective: To compare the costs and monetary benefits of non-pharmacological interventions for patients with Alzheimer’s disease in real-world settings. Methods: A systematic review was performed to determine the most effective treatment strategies for being able to stay at home for patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Care-management, family support, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation were identified as effective interventions applicable in the Finnish healthcare setting. Data on medical and social service costs, and the costs of residential care for all patients newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2 major cities in Finland were analysed in a 4-year follow-up study. The potential cost savings of the different treatment strategies were assessed. Results: The annual cost increased from €9,481 to €28,400 (mean per patient) during the 4-year follow-up. Cost savings were achieved in care-management, family support programmes, and rehabil-itative cognitive and social activation if the patients’ transition to long-term care was delayed by 2.8, 1.8 and 43.0 days, respectively. Conclusion: Care-management and informal caregiver support for patients with Alzheimer’s disease may benefit patients and result in concurrent cost savings. Delaying the decline in cognitive and social functioning through rehabilitation is indicated for more severe phases of Alzheimer’s disease, and the costs appear to be compensated by savings in the cost of long-term care.

Introduction: Patient satisfaction is a patient-reported outcome with the potential to assess and improve the quality of newer care-management models such as remote patient monitoring using telecommunication technology. Objective: To evaluate differences in patient satisfaction among 3 care management groups in a comparative effectiveness trial. Methods: This study analyzed a comparative effectiveness trial that tested automated remote assessment technology–facilitated comorbid depression care-management (TC, n = 254) in comparison to team-supported depression care (SC, n = 228) and usual primary care (UC, n = 218) among low-income patients with type 2 diabetes. Relationships between patient satisfaction and care group were evaluated at each 6-month phase up to 18 months using linear regression models that controlled for depression status, diabetes symptoms, patient characteristics, and study group differences. Results: While receiving care management, SC and TC patients were significantly more satisfied with depression care than UC patients. No consistently significant associations between patient satisfaction and patient characteristics or disease symptoms were found. Conclusions: Patient satisfaction was found to be influenced by elements of care-management, not by patient characteristics or disease symptoms. Results suggest greater patient satisfaction with depression care in a care-management model than UC, whether through clinician team support or automated remote monitoring technology.

This paper reports one component of an evaluation of the different forms, types and models of local authority social services' care-management for older people that have emerged in England since 1993. It was undertaken at a time of a growing debate about whether care-management differentiated those with simple from complex needs, and whether for the latter a multi-disciplinary approach was required. A sample representative of different approaches to care-management was selected from a national survey of local authorities to explore the associations between types of care-management and case-mix, the services received by the clients, and the use of staff time. The paper addresses the categorisation of the types of care-management and the differences associated with these. The care-management teams were distinguished by whether they used a 'targeted approach', had 'specialist older people's teams', or used other arrangements. It was found that those with a targeted approach undertook more multi-disciplinary assessments, provided more assistance to older people with mental health problems, and that their staff spent significantly less time in direct contact with users and carers. Conversely, those with specialist older people's teams had more users in receipt of occupational therapy services. Further research is required to explore the influence of these different arrangements on the wellbeing of service users and their carers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ende des Jahres 2012 wurde eine Studie – beauftragt vom Bundesministerium für Arbeit, Soziales und Konsumentenschutz (Sozialministerium) – veröffentlicht, die erstmalig in Österreich auf die Situation pflegender Kinder und Jugendlicher aufmerksam machte. Damit rückte eine Gruppe ins öffentliche Interesse, die bisher als solche noch nicht wahrgenommen wurde. Laut dieser Studie leben in Österreich über 40.000 Kinder und Jugendliche, die regelmäßig im Sinne der Langzeitpflege Verantwortung für ein chronisch krankes Familienmitglied übernehmen. Die damit verbundenen Tätigkeiten sind vielfältig und gehen hinsichtlich ihrer Art und Intensität häufig über das hinaus, was für das Alter und die Entwicklung der Betroffenen angemessen ist (Nagl-Cupal et al. 2012). Dies hat zur Folge, dass Pflege durch Kinder und Jugendliche in direktem Zusammenhang mit negativen gesundheitlichen und sozialen Auswirkungen steht. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht somit in der Entwicklung eines Rahmenkonzepts als Grundlage zur Unterstützung von Young Carers und deren Familien. Damit wird aufgezeigt, durch welche konkreten Maßnahmen Hilfe für diese Gruppe geleistet werden kann. Gleichzeitig gibt das Rahmenkonzept eine Orientierung für jene Institutionen, die zielgruppen- und bedürfnisorientierte Unterstützungsmaßnahmen für Young Carers implementieren wollen.

Kinder und Jugendliche, die regelmäßig ein chronisch krankes Familienmitglied pflegen, sind ein globales Phänomen. In Österreich ist der Situation pflegender Kinder und Jugendlicher, mit Ausnahme einer größeren Anzahl von Diplomarbeiten am Institut für Pflegewissenschaft der Universität Wien, bisher noch wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt worden. Es fehlt sowohl am Einblick in das Thema der sogenannten „Young Carers“ generell als auch an qualifizierten Hilfsangeboten. Ausgehend von einem parlamentarischen Entschließungsantrag hat das Bundesministerium für Arbeit, Soziales und Konsumentenschutz das Institut für Pflegewissenschaft der Universität Wien mit einer Studie beauftragt, die die Situation pflegender Kinder in Österreich untersuchen soll. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Studie besteht darin, Einsicht in die Situation pflegender Kinder zu nehmen. Diese Einsicht erfolgt in Form einer fundierten Zahlenbasis über die genaue Anzahl und die Situation gegenwärtig pflegender Kinder ebenso wie auf Grundlage der Beleuchtung der Situation ehemaliger pflegender Kinder und der Auswirkungen kindlicher Pflegeerfahrungen im Erwachsenenalter. Abgeleitet von den Ergebnissen und dem internationalen Diskurs werden Empfehlungen formuliert, auf deren Grundlage pflegende Kinder und Jugendliche unterstützt werden können.

- Abstract
Internet-based applications and mobile health technology has advanced at unprecedented rates over the last decade and has proved to be a highly effective platform for communication. Simultaneously, the United States health care system has reached a critical and unsustainable level of spending, arising largely from ingrained system inefficiencies and overall suboptimum communication. Internet-based and mobile health technology offers an innovative solution to both of these problems. The prevention of readmissions for heart failure provides an excellent example of how this new technology can be used in today's health care environment to improve patient care., (Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
