Launch of the National Care Service in England

Source: Department of Health, 30/03/2010

In the biggest change to the welfare state since the creation of the NHS, everyone who needs care when they are old or disabled will get it for free, Health Secretary Andy Burnham announced today as he launched the National Care Service in England.

The National Care Service will be based on a principle of shared social insurance and will be funded by contributions from everyone in a fair way. The National Care Service will ensure people get high quality care when they need it and it will give peace of mind that savings and homes will be protected from the expensive care costs that arise from serious long term conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or recovering from a stroke.

Andy Burnham said:

“Today we are launching a National Care Service that is fair for all, ending the cruel care lottery we have today. Like the NHS, everyone will contribute and everyone will get their care for free when they need it. This is the biggest change to the welfare state since 1948 and, like the NHS, it’s going to take time to build.

“The National Care Service will mean that people will be treated with dignity and respect, people will have control and choice over their care and they will be helped to stay in their homes for as long as possible. People who have to live in residential care will, from 2014, get their care for free after two years and there will be more help to pay the residential costs.

“We’re not replacing the millions of carers or families who look after each other. They are the underlying principle of the National Care Service and we will better support them.

“We’ve already laid strong foundations through reforms over the past few years. But, with an ever growing older population – there will be 1.7 million more people needing care in the next 20 years – we must radically overhaul the way care is paid for and provided.

“I feel very strongly that this is a responsibility we must all help to shoulder. And it’s clear from what we have heard from the thousands of people who have given us their opinions on this over the past twelve months, that people agree. That’s why we know that the fairest way to help everyone who is affected by a serious disease, illness or disability is for us all to pay into a system so we get free care when we need it.”

The cost of care is currently a cruel lottery. No one has any way of knowing how much care and support they may need in the future. A 65-year-old can expect to need care costing on average £30,000 during retirement. However, some people, for example people with severe dementia, could end up needing care costing as much as £200,000.

The National Care Service will put an end to this unfair system. It will be built on strong foundations of recent reforms and will overhaul the way care and support is paid for and provided. It cannot be built overnight and will be phased in three stages:

Stage One
• Build on the best of the current system through reforms that are already underway and deliver the Personal Care at Home Bill.

Stage Two
• From 2014 extend the coverage of free care so that people will receive free care if they need to stay in residential care for more than two years.
• Set up a commission to support consensus and advise the Government on the fairest and most sustainable way that people can make their contribution to a care system which is free when they need it.
• Set up a National Care Service Leadership Group of expert stakeholders who will advise Government on the implementation of the National Care Service, focussing on the systems and business processes that need to be put in place to make the National Care Service a reality.
• Introduce a National Care Service Bill to set the legal foundations of the National Care Service.
• Enshrine in law for the first time nationally consistent eligibility criteria for social care helping to remove the postcode lottery of care that exists now
• Push forward with the prevention agenda and continue the drive towards personal budgets so that by 2012 everyone who would benefit from a personal budget will have one.
• Ensure accurate, relevant and accessible information about what people are entitled to, how the assessment process works and how to access care services is provided to everyone.
• We want to improve the gateway for accessing social care and disability benefits to make simpler and easier for people.
• Introduce a quality framework including a body to drive up quality in social care.

Stage Three
• The introduction of a comprehensive National Care Service that is free when they need it for all adults with an eligible care need, funded by contributions.

Following the biggest ever consultation on care and support that saw over 68,000 members of the public, carers and representative organisations have their say, it is clear that people believe it is right that everyone should contribute to a care system that is free when people need it– similar to the NHS. However, the necessary consensus on how people should pay into such a system has not yet been reached. A National Care Service Commission, will therefore be established to advise Ministers on the fairest and most sustainable way for people to do so.

Care Services Minister Phil Hope said:

“We must find a fair way of funding the National Care Service. The stakes are very high. That’s why we must have a clear consensus. We are setting up a commission to tell us what would be a fair way for everyone to pay into this new system.

“Everyone will pay into it in a fair way and in return everyone will then have peace of mind that their savings and homes will be protected from high care costs. The whole of society will benefit and the National Care Service will support individuals and families for generations to come.”

The National Care Service will have six founding principles. It will:

1. Be universal – supporting all adults with care and support needs within a framework of national entitlements.
2. Be free at the point of use – based on need, rather than the ability to pay.
3. Work in partnership – with all the different organisations and people who support individuals with care and support needs day-to-day.
4. Ensure choice and control – treating everyone with respect and dignity, ,putting people in charge of their lives.
5. Support family, carers and community life – recognising the vital contribution families, carers and communities play in enabling people to realise their potential.
6. Be accessible – easy to understand, helping people make the right choices.

The Big Care Debate

MCQ (answer) on clinical coding and classification

The answer to the multiple choice question is item 4:

- a product of the 18th century driven by death?

François Bossier de Lacroix (1706-1777*), better known as Sauvages, is credited with the first attempt to classify diseases systematically.

Sauvages' comprehensive treatise was published under the title Nosologia methodica.

A contemporary of Sauvages was the great methodologist Linnaeus (1707-1778), one of whose treatises was entitled Genera morborum.

Beginning of the 19th century, the classification of disease in most general use was one by William Cullen (1710-1790), of Edinburgh, published in 1785 under the title Synopsis nosologiae methodicae.

* I note sources that record Sauvage's year of death as 1767.

Hodges model: The realm of the Centaur...?

I've rather messed about here before with ideas for the new website, banners and graphics. In reading I've switched from SF to Ken Wilber, who with David Bohm I have intended to read for many years.

In Wilber's book No Boundary I found a gift of an iconic image, as in health and social care we constantly strive to achieve integrated and holistic care.


Much of my day-to-day work involves mind-body : body-mind and the suffering between.

In No Boundary we read about the Centaur:

Let us return to the level of the total organism and continue with the story of the growth of the spectrum. At this level, the individual is identified solely with her organism, existing in time, in flight from death. Nevertheless, she is at least still in touch with her entire psychophysical being. This is why we usually refer to the level of the total organism by a simpler name: the centaur. A centaur is a legendary animal, half human and half horse, and so it well represents a perfect union and harmony of mental and physical. A centaur is not a horse rider in control of her horse, but a rider who is one with her horse. Not a psyche divorced from and in control of a soma, but a self-controlling, self-governing, psychosomatic unity. p.72

According to a study published in Trends in Immunology, use bar soap can reduce the protective layer on the skin that actually protects you from seasonal allergic in nature. Therefore, you should use only liquid soap.

Good tips to overcome the air allergies can be useful for us all. If there are less obvious with tips to overcome the air allergies, can be asked in the comment form.

When Allergy Comes

In 2000, Resource Limited (marketing research) to do research in southern England. The result, about 70 percent of new allergy sufferers to know if he was allergic after more than 7 years of experience symptoms.

When exposed to allergens, the body produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) that serves to destroy the substances that are considered harmful to the body. Then embedded in IgE mast cell (tissue histamine-producing cells when allergens enter). The interaction between IgE to mast cells manifest in the form of an allergic reaction which we usually see (skin itching, nausea, or swelling in a specific body part). Not impossible, we just like the people of South England. Wondered why a sudden every morning always sneeze. Yet never before.

Research funded by the German pharmaceutical company, Altana Pharma, which is considered allergy mention emerging as adults was because we did not realize it. Or because there are hormonal changes and lifestyle. Dr. Danche Theno, SpP, allergy specialists from the Hospital Pantai Indah Kapuk, this study confirms.

"Allergies can happen to anyone. The level of risk of an allergic person is determined by genetic factors, environmental, and immune system. If low immunity, allergies easily arise," he said.

There are some common allergy kenis complained about by adults, namely the cold allergy, allergic perfume, nickel allergy (many suffered by women, for example when wearing accessories made from nickel), plant allergies, allergic to alcohol, and egg allergies.

Allergic to eggs, for example, the study says the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research commonly occurs in children. However, there are also adult egg allergy. Whether you eat or are exposed on the skin.

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergy-causing substances in the egg is ovomukoid protein, ovalbumin, ovontransferin, and lysozyme. These substances found in more egg whites. These proteins stimulate the immune system's reaction is excessive. As a result, our body produces antibodies against the protein of eggs that are not harmful.

Allergy symptoms will appear a few minutes or several hours after the eggs are consumed or exposed skin. Usually in the form of skin itch and become red, or swollen in some parts of the body, such as lips or eyes. There are also people who had trouble breathing due to eating eggs.

To prevent allergic symptoms appear, consider carefully the food consumed that do not contain eggs. When eating in restaurants, do not hesitate to ask the waiter if the menu contains eggs that had been ordered or not. If severe symptoms arise, for example, acute shortness of breath, immediately to the doctor to get an injection of epinephrine to activate the adrenaline. Adrenaline causes the heart to work harder to pump blood so the oxygen supply increased. Allergy tests are recommended blood tests and skin tests to find out what material in the egg that causes an allergic reaction appear.

Why should perform an allergy test?

"My son was 7 years old, from three months to suffer with itchy bumps, bumps on the skin. If food allergies are given drugs physicians, the complaint disappeared. But once the drug is stopped, the bumps, bumps on the skin comes back.

According to doctors, disorders suffered by my child is hives. Doctors recommend to avoid foods that contain shrimp, crab, and nuts. He also should not drink beverages that contain preservatives.

All the doctor's advice had been followed, but the bumps, bumps on the skin still comes back. That doctors recommend to my child tested for allergies at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.

What are the benefits these tests? How the test procedure? "

Allergy tests are able to support to determine the cause of allergies. But this new test can be used when it's done a thorough interview about the occurrence of hives in your child. So for example in the history of the disease arise obtained hives after eating peanuts and tests showed positive results on peanut allergens, then it can be concluded because of the possibility of hives nuts.

On the contrary may happen, positive allergy tests to shrimp, whereas those who tested allergy when eating shrimp allergies did not arise. In this situation, allergy tests can not support the cause of allergies. In addition to allergy testing is usually performed in the arm, can also be performed laboratory tests to determine the allergens causing allergic attack.

This examination is only time consuming and more expensive cost. Allergy tests in the form of puncture tests (prick test) can be seen the results in 15 minutes. The principle of this test is a substance suspected allergens (in liquid form) dropped on the arm and puncture performed on the droplets.

If the patient is allergic to one ingredient, it will appear swollen and red. Bumps the size of the patient described the degree of sensitivity to these allergens. Usually this allergy test can be performed in children over the age of 4 years. This test can not be done if there are abnormalities in the skin area to be tested. These tests also can not be done when the patient was in a state of pregnancy.

To avoid the influence of drugs that can reduce allergic reactions in these tests, the drugs belonged to antihistamines should not be taken before the test. So allergy tests can help, but not sure the cause of allergies.

The principle of allergy treatment is to avoid allergens, treating the symptoms with allergy medications, as well as immune therapy to reduce sensitivity to allergens. For hives, if the cause can be known, then the cause should be avoided. When a child to a food allergen, so the food should be avoided.

To eliminate the symptoms of hives, may be prescribed antihistamines groups. In general, to treat hives immune therapy is not necessary.

Food Allergy or food intolerance?

Have you ever experienced itching in the skin after eating shrimp, or the little one into diarrhea after drinking milk? Is this a sign you have food allergies, or simply can not tolerate certain foods? Is there a difference between them?

A study published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology found that although most of us easily recognize the symptoms of food allergies, but the majority would not be able to distinguish what is food allergy and food intolerance. Naturally, we also do not know how to handle this problem.

The issue of food allergies is even cursory never been taken seriously, even though the result could be fatal. Meanwhile, food intolerance was so troubling precisely because it only caused discomfort. "It seems people do not realize how true food allergies, because it is serious, and affects all aspects of life," said Scott H. Sicherer, MD, professor of pediatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and author of Understanding and Managing Your Child's Food Allergies. "Imagine if we can not drink milk or eat eggs. For children, this can affect all social situations," he added. Little could not eat common foods consumed by children in the neighborhood, or can not come enjoy his friend's birthday party, because allergic to all types of dairy products.

You also want to know what the difference between food allergy and food intolerance?

Food allergies
Food allergy occurs when the immune system to attack any protein in the diet, according to Dr. Sicherer. When the body of responding to foods, like peanuts, as a foreign substance, the body begins to form antibodies against these substances. As in other occasions that the body found the food again, the antibodies immediately felt, and signals the immune system to react. And this is what causes red spots are itchy, swollen lips or tongue, dizziness, fainting, and even in some cases, death. "These symptoms can occur very quickly after eating the wrong foods," he said. "Some people are very sensitive, and only a little food can trigger a reaction."

Common: In children, three of the most common food allergy triggers are cow's milk, peanuts, and eggs. According to the study, many people who think cow's milk allergy in children can be replaced with low-fat milk. Whereas food allergens in adults are shellfish.

Another misunderstanding: Still according to the results of the study, about 40 percent of people think that allergy will not heal when children grow older. Approximately 55 percent of people think that food allergies can be cured, and 30 percent believe there is a daily treatment for people with food allergies. All this is not true: allergies can disappear with age. Milk allergies in children, for example, can be resolved later by the child, said Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics at Children's Memorial Hospital Northwestern School of Medicine, and author of the study. But the only way to effectively deal with allergies is to avoid the trigger foods. You can make checks to the doctor to see if you are allergic to food or certain things.

Food intolerance
Food intolerance has nothing to do with the immune system. People who can not tolerate certain foods to lose some of the components in the digestive system is needed to digest these foods. For example, lactose intolerance occurs in people who lack digestive enzymes lactate. "Intolerance of food is not scary, just makes us uncomfortable," says Dr. Sicherer. The symptoms also tend to be associated with digestion, such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea, wasting a lot of wind, and bloating. However, some food additives can cause rashes and itching or asthma attack, which is often mistaken for symptoms of allergies. Some people can even tolerate the food in question if in small quantities only.

A common: There is a condition in which people can not digest foods that contain wheat flour, and this is a common form of food intolerance. In addition, most people also have a certain level of lactose intolerance. Food additives, such as food coloring, and sulfide in the wine, is also often trigger intolerance that is often confused with allergies, according to Dr. Gupta. If you are not sure what foods trigger your digestive problems, remove all the suspicious material in your diet, and consumption back gradually.

Another misunderstanding: Some food intolerances can be overcome. You can take medicine containing lactic acid, an enzyme which is missing in milk intolerance. Good health tips about the Food Allergy or Food intolerance can be beneficial for us all.

Design an interactive space - 2 meters square - for Expolab project

My source: DESRIST discussion LinkedIn

Hello DESRIST members.

This is about an interactive design project, and the folks at Citilab are very interested in design research. Check it out if you're interested.

Letting you know that Citilab Cornella has an open call for exhibits that explore digital technology for their new project "Expolab". This experiment challenges designers to design 1 or more Expolab cubes with interactives that explore how new digital media and tech affects how we share memories, connect, travel through time and space, work, and experience safety. An opportunity to experiment, and work with the brilliant Expolab team Irene Lapuente, Ramon Sangüesa, and Astrid Lubsen of Citilab.

Start with the cubed 2mx2m space, then modify the space/walls as needed to make it experimental and interactive. Spaces will be equipped with electric and internet connections if needed. Citilab will build 6 of these and put them on display in Barcelona. Expolab cubes can have any number of walls, you can design the whole thing as long as it fits in 2mx2m. The Tech Virtual hosts free 3D prototyping space in Second Life for you to build or document your entry ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Tech%202/160/211/33 ). If you'd prefer to use your own tools that's fine too, just upload your screenshots after creating a project at:

http://thetechvirtual.org/projects/expolab

Full design brief at http://thetechvirtual.org/projects/expolab/expolab-brief-3.pdf

Looking forward to some new input on this experimental venture! Expolab team comes online for live design reviews Thursdays at 13:00 EST / 10:00 PST / and 18:00 CET (Barcelona). Did I miss anything? Send a note to rketner[at]thetech.org

About Expolab: http://expolab.net/eng/?page_id=5
"Expolab is a new way to understand exhibitions. It is a laboratory devoted to researching and creating new exhibitions in the area of technology, innovation, science and design, which are the main focus of work at Citilab. Expolab raises the possibility of creating exhibitions with strong citizen participation and contribution from the very beginning of an exhibition, and not just using the audience as providers of feedback once the exhibitions is one. This represents a new challenge within the world of museums and exhibitions.

Lovelace, women's IT and QUADratic equations

When you stop and think about it - really stop and think, the foresight of Charles Babbage was astonishing, even though he did not quite achieve his objectives. What is even more amazing then is the role that Ada Lovelace played in the development of computing and scientific computing.

This post is to celebrate Ada Lovelace Day. As per this post 12 months ago, I am and always will be celebrating Enid Mumford and her work on the need and importance of sociotechnical insights when we attempt to apply IT in the work place*. Her work also exemplifies what women can and do contribute to IT.

In terms of the 3R's I am 'literate', but real maths evades me at least the level of ability I wish I had. Namely, the expertise to exercise some of puzzles in the social sciences.

BBC radio 4's Woman's Hour has regularly featured maths education for women and girls, bemoaning the maths abilities of the female population. Some maths has come to me through programming in BASIC, sorting, recursion, functions and using SPSS (DOS version!).

They should teach more programming in schools. Computing and maths are often equated (sorry!) and fittingly the BBC have also featured the genius of Ada Lovelace.

So all these things are connected: the pioneering insights of Ada Lovelace, the state of mathematics education for girls and how girl's are engaged in IcT today globally.

Narcissistic disease and tips on how to treat

Description:
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have a high sense of ego and the need for deep will admiration. Narcissistic patients believe they are superior to others and less attention to others' feelings. But behind these masks have a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the criticism a little.

Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorder, a condition where people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in ways that alienate themselves from the social space, limiting their ability to relate to other environments outside of their environment, such as work or school.

Symptom
Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms include:
* Believe that it's better than the other
* Fantasies about power, success and attractiveness
* Exaggerated achievement or talent
* Continually expecting praise and admiration
* Believe that people with special
* Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
* Expecting others to go along with the ideas and plans for patients
* Taking advantage of others
* Expressing contempt for those who feel inferior
* Being jealous of other people
* Believing that others envy
* Difficulty maintaining healthy relationships

* Setting unrealistic goals
* Being easily hurt and rejected
* Having a fragile self-esteem
* Liver or emotional Hardware

Although narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it is not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder across the normal boundaries of trust and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself. Conversely, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem do not value themselves more than they value others.

When someone has a narcissistic personality disorder, the possibility of appearing arrogant, often monopolizing a conversation, belittle or look down on people who are considered inferior, feel most entitled. And when it does not receive special treatment was obtained patients were deemed eligible, patients become very impatient or angry. Patients are also looking for other people who think having the same special talents, power and nature - people who see patients equivalents. Patients may insist on having "the best" of everything - the best car, athletic club, medical care or social environment, for example.

But behind all the "pomp" there is often a fragile self-esteem. Patients with difficulty handling anything that may be regarded as a criticism. If the patient has been criticized she was embarrassed and humiliated and seemed open secret. And in order to make patients feel better about themselves, people usually react with anger or contempt and efforts to belittle others to make themselves look better.

The cause of this narcissistic until now unknown. Like other mental disorders, the cause may be complex. The evidence relates is the leading cause of dysfunctional childhood, such as excessive pampering, extremely high expectations, abuse or neglect. Other evidence indicates genetics or psychobiology - the relationship between brain and behavior and thinking.

Treatment
Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around psychotherapy. There is no specific treatment that is used to treat narcissistic personality disorder. However, if patients experience symptoms of depression, anxiety or other conditions, medications such as antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs, can help.

Type of therapy that can help to narcissistic personality disorder include:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy. In general, cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients identify health conditions, beliefs and negative behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive.
• Family therapy typically brings the whole family together in therapy sessions. The patient and his family explore conflicts, communication and problem solving to help cope with relationship problems between them.
• Therapy groups that enables patients to meet with a group of people with similar conditions, can assist with teaching and to relate better with others. This is probably a good way to learn about truly listening to others, learn about their feelings and offer support.
  

Because personality traits can be difficult to change, therapy may take several years. The purpose of short-term psychotherapy is to address problems such as drug use, depression, low self-esteem or shame. Long-term goal is to reshape the patient's personality, at least for a few minor changes significantly, so that patients can change patterns of thinking that distort self-image and create a realistic self-image. Psychotherapy can also help patients learn to relate better with others so that the relationship is more intimate, enjoyable and rewarding. This can help patients understand the causes of patient emotions and what drives people to compete, to distrust others and perhaps to hate themselves and others.

More SF (speculations on person-centred care...?)

I've been reading a bit more SF - this time Joe Haldeman's, The Forever War here's a fascinating excerpt:

I went to the phone in the kitchen and with some difficulty managed to get through to the hospital. A plain girl in her twenties formed in the cube. "Nurse Donalson, general services." She had a fixed smile, professional sincerity. But then everybody smiled.
"My mother needs to be looked at by a doctor. She has a --"
"Name and number, please."
"Beth Mandella." I spelled it.
"What number?"
"Medical services number, of course," she smiled.
I called into Mom and asked her what her number was.
"She says she can't remember."
"That's alright, sir, I'm sure I can find her records."
She turned her smile to a keyboard beside her and punched out a code.
"Beth Mandella?" she said, her smile turning quizzical.
"You're her son? She must be in her eighties."
"Please. It's a long story. She really has to see a doctor."
"Is this some kind of joke?"
"What do you mean?" Strangled coughing from the other room, the worse yet. "Really -- this might be very serious, you've got to--"
"But sir, Mrs. Mandella got a zero priority rating way back in 2010. "
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"S-i-r . . ." The smile was hardening in place.
"Look. Pretend I come from another planet. What is a 'zero priority rating'?"
"Another -- oh I know you!" She looked off to the left.
"Sonya -- come over here a second. You'd never guess who .." Another face crowded the cube, a vapid blonde girl who smile was twin to the other nurse's. "Remember? On the stat this morning?"
"Oh, yeah," she said. "One of the soldiers -- hey, that's really max, really max." The head withdrew.
"Oh, Mr Mandella," she said, effusive. "No wonder you're confused. It's really very simple."
"Well?"
"It's part of the Universal Medical Security System. Everybody gets a rating on their seventieth birthday. It comes in automatically from Geneva."
"What does it rate? What does it mean?" But the ugly truth was obvious.
"Well, it tells how important a person is and what level of treatment he's allowed. Class three is the same as anybody else's; class two is the same except for certain life-extending--"
"And class zero is no treatment at all."
"That's correct, Mr Mandella." And in her smile was not a glimmer of pity or understanding.
"Thank you." I disconnected. Marygay was standing behind me, crying soundlessly with her mouth wide open. ...
