Socioeconomic Cost

This study examined the socioeconomic costs of dementia based on the utilization of healthcare and long-term care services in South Korea. Using 2016 data from two national insurance databases and a survey study, persons with dementia were categorized into six groups based on healthcare and long-term care services used: long-term care insurance users with home- and community-based services (n = 93,346), nursing home services (n = 69,895), and combined services (n = 16,068); and long-term care insurance non-users cared for by family at home (n = 192,713), living alone (n = 19,526), and admitted to long-term-care hospitals (n = 65,976). Their direct and indirect costs were estimated. The total socioeconomic cost of dementia was an estimated US$10.9 billion for 457,524 participants in 2016 (US$23,877 per person). Among the six groups, the annual per-person socioeconomic cost of dementia was lowest for long-term care insurance users who received home- and community-based services (US$21,391). It was highest for long-term care insurance non-users admitted to long-term care hospitals (US$26,978). Effective strategies are necessary to promote long-term care insurance with home- and community-based services to enable persons with dementia to remain in their communities as long as possible while receiving cost-efficient, quality care.

In response to the irreversible aging trend, the Taiwan government has promoted the Long-Term Care (LTC) policy 1.0 launched in 2007 and the LTC policy 2.0 reform since 2016. This study aimed to explore the utilization of formal home and community-based care under LTC policy 1.0 to add scientific support for the on-going LTC policy 2.0 reform. Methods: By using Andersen and Aday’s behavioral model of healthcare utilization, the long-term care dataset was analyzed from 2013 to 2016. A total of 101,457 care recipients were identified after data cleaning. Results: The results revealed that about 40.7% of the care recipients stayed in the care system for more than two years. A common factor influencing the length of home and community-based services (HCBS) utilization period included need factors, where more dependent recipients leave the LTC system regardless of their socio-economic status. However, the utilization period of non-low-income households is significantly affected by the level of service resources. Conclusion: For long-term care needs, the phenomenon of a short utilization period was concerning. This study adds information which suggests policy should reconsider care capacity and quality, especially for moderate to severely dependent recipients. This will allow for better understanding to help maintain care recipients in their own communities to achieve the goal of having an aging in place policy.

Abstract Ideally, continuum of care involves wide-ranging health and long-term care (LTC) services. Taiwan’s National Health Insurance scheme and 10-Year Long-term Care Plan attempts to provide universal and fundamental services of continuum care. However, the accessibility of these services for care recipients remains unclear. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of continuum care in decreasing the healthcare expenditure of LTC recipients using home- and community-based services (HCBS). Data collated from the 2010–2013 Long-Term Care Service Management System (N = 77,251) were subjected to latent class analysis to identify subgroups of recipients using HCBS. Subsequently, the 1-year primary care expenditure after receiving HCBS was compared through generalized linear modeling. Three discrete HCBS subgroups were found: home-based personal care (HP), home-based health care (HH), and community-based care (CC). No difference in the number of visits to doctors and the average primary care expenses was observed between the HP and HH subgroups. However, considering physical and psychosocial confounders, care recipients in the CC subgroup recorded a higher number of visits to doctors (β = 3.05, SD = 0.25, p < 0.05) and lower primary care expenditure (β = -98.15, SD = 43.17, p = 0.02) than the other two subgroups. These findings suggest that LTC recipients in Taiwan may obtain better continuum care only for CC service recipients. Additionally, community-based LTC services may lower the cost of health expenditure after 1 year.

RÉSUMÉLa désinstitutionnalisation et le virage vers les ressources communautaires posent des défis importants aux décideurs et aux dispensateurs de services, le plus important étant sans nul doute le défi de fournir un volume de services communautaires de haute qualité suffisant à répondre aux besoins de la clientèle. Ce défi est particulièrement évident dans les soins de longue durée (SLD), en raison de la complexité et de la diversité de ce champs d'action, de la vulnérabilité de la clientèle et de l'accroissement de la demande consécutive aux compressions dans le système hospitalier. Dans ce contexte, la dernière réforme des soins de longue durée en Ontario est particulièrement intéressante parce que, comme l'exprime le mot d'ordre gouvernemental «meilleure qualité au meilleur prix,» elle promet la coüt-efficacité tout en assurant le maintien ou l'amélioration de la qualité. Pour y arriver, on a recours à un modèle de «gestion de la concurrence» dans lequel les fournisseurs sans but lucratif et à but lucratif entrent en concurrence pour des contrats de services attribués par des Centres d'accès aux soins communautaires locaux, gérés par un conseil de bénévoles. Dans cette communication, nous avons utilisé les commentaires de hauts fonctionnaires et de représentants de fournisseurs de soins, ainsi que des documents du domaine public, pour mettre en lumière les questions et les problèmes soulevés par cette plus récente réforme provinciale. Nous soumettons que le modèle de gestion de la concurrence pourra entraîner la subordination de la qualité des services et du choix du consommateur aux impératifs de limitation des coûts, particulièrement dans le contexte actuel de budgets fermés et d'augmentation de la demande.

Community Based Services

Community-based, long-term care has become an increasingly popular and needed service for the aged and disabled populations in recent years. These services witnessed a major expansion in 1981 when Congress created the Home and Community-Based Waiver authority for the Medicaid program. Currently, all states offer some complement of community-based, long-term care services to their elderly and disabled populations and nearly all states have Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services waivers which extend these services to their Medicaid eligible clients.An ever increasing proportion of the population is in need of community-based, long-term care services. Between nine and eleven million Americans of all ages are chronically disabled and require some help with tasks of daily living. In 1990, thirty percent of the elderly with at least one impaired activity of daily living used a community-based, long-term care service. Not surprisingly, expenditures for community-based, long-term care have increased.
