Some of the most important questions asked in research studies are: Who gets Alzheimer’s and what causes it? How does one care for a person for Alzheimer’s and what type of assistance is available to the caregivers? What options are available for families for end-of-life decisions?
The economic effect of the Nursing Shortage will have significant consequences on the aging American population referred to as the “Baby-Boomers,” born between 1946 and 1964. This block of citizens will be making demands on the health care system for quality health care. The unavailability of qualified health care personnel adequately to provide care is a solution worth exploring with economic tools. Economic theories offer the foundational business decision-making tools that guide efficiency among health care managers. The health care environment has to change practice and tactics to remain viable by using evidenced-based business practice models to remain relevant.
As these programs are developed strategies and standards are addressed and barriers identified to ensure success of preventing falls. Falls are a serious concern among the elderly population, and a major concern within the health care community. Falls are the most adverse event reported in hospitals and are leading cause of death in patients 65 years or older. Nation-wide the average rate for a first fall range from 2.2 to 3.6 per 1000 patient days.

UNIT 4222-656 Understand the factors affecting older people Outcome 1 1) As adults age, many changes occur: memory loss, bones and joints, eyes and ears, digestive and metabolic, urogenital, dental, skin and functional abilities problems. 2) Aging is inevitable and is in a sense a gradual loss of life functions. The process is unique and different for each individual.

Some of these disorders can affect the older adult or appear as an effect of aging. Others may strike early on in life. Whatever the case, people affected by these conditions will most likely require partial or complete care which will most likely be provided by an immediate family member who’s life will be greatly affected by this unexpected occurrence. For instance, people usually associate dementia with old age but in recent years it has been shown that adults, as young as 50 have
Ethnicity has repeatedly been shown to be a strong indicator of health status. Deprivation, socioeconomic factors such as income, education and unemployment, is recognised as a major indicator of health. These are demographic characteristics that will influence services, for example if a local community have a particularly high number of older people then residential homes and nursing homes are going to be more important that than services for children like nurseries and playgroups.
