In a retrospective correlational study conducted by Lee, Forsyth,Morley, Garnham, Heasman, and Taylor (2012), MOHOST was used to determine the validity of the Pay by Received (PbR) care packages program in United Kingdom (UK). Information provided from participants were evaluated using MOHOST and sorted by PbR (Lee et al., 2012). Depending on the calculated score from MOHOST, participants were categorized by cluster analysis into three levels of functioning. As a result, the researchers deemed PbR clusters to be effective for generally determining the level of service an individual need (Lee et al., 2012). In addition, for client-centered interventions, care packages would need to include occupation-based assessment such as MOHOST. There were
Care professionals usually adopt a holistic approach to care and support, as they see their role is to address the needs of a person
The proposed call RCS-1 would change the system to emphasize patient clinic characteristics and not services received. The new system does not receive payment on a number of services provided, but how much services the patient would receive based on the identification of patient characteristics. This approach could dramatically affect a number of therapy services provided to the client. Additionally, CMS would remove the existing 14, 30, 60, and 90-day PPS assessments and only require the initial and discharge assessments, with significant change assessments if applicable. Further, this could be a noteworthy change in the number of assessments used to determine payment and may not capture changes in patient status. Couple concerns relate to the proposed RCS-1 affect the provision of and access to occupation therapist and AOTA mention in part of those limitations when the patients receive therapy and whether they receive the appropriate amount of therapy. Improving the PPS system could have beneficial effects on patients and on practitioners but AOTA does not believe this proposed system has enough safeguards in place for
It is important to review care and support plans as people’s needs change. By including the person, their family then everyone knows what is happening and the family can help to monitor mood swings and behaviour. The individual and the family can express their views and preferences and any relevant risk assessments may be done with everyone involved. By monitoring the individual, a decision can be made as to whether the changes are effective and if the best care is being given to encourage independence and promote dignity.
Of course there will be important conflicts of interest between service users and their carers which will need to be faced up to at an individual level. But services should not be provided by exploiting the personal commitment and dedication of carers. Families who care for individuals whose behaviour presents challenges are subject to considerable and continual stress, both physical and psychological. Although staffs is not permanently on duty as family carers can be, they are still subject to the same stresses when supporting people whose behaviour challenges. This is true even in settings which aim to do no more than contain people. Similar concerns apply to staff as to carers. The higher aspirations often found in progressive services impose extra strain on staff and here too it is important to balance the demands of working constructively with people who can be very difficult, day in and day out, with the needs of individual staff for emotional and practical respite and ongoing support. Demographic changes and rising expectations will
Those who are eligible can choose to take a direct payment and arrange their own support. With a help of a care manager, family, friends or social worker. The impact this has that the client becomes the employer they can decide what they want and need.

The essay consider theories and policies that underpin health and social care practice and explore formal and informal mechanisms required to promote good practice by individuals in the workforce, including strategies that can influence the performance of others. The first part of this essay will consider how principles of support are implemented by using Overton house residential care home to evaluate and explain how principles of support are applied. Key concepts such as person-centred approach and dilemmas and conflicts arising from the
Within this essay, I will reflect and critically analyse an OSCE which has increased my awareness, or challenged my understanding, in assessing the holistic needs of a service user (John), referred by his GP, whilst incorporating a care plan using the Care Programme Approach (CPA). By utilising this programme and other sources of current literature, I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to this skill as well as identifying areas with scope for learning.
In this report I will be investigating how care services meet the needs of individuals by firstly analysing the needs of an individual using care services. Then I will go on to explain the roles of the care planning process in identifying needs, and explain the features of a positive care practise. After explaining that, I will analysis positive care environments and evaluate how they meet needs before finally explaining the role of legislation in promoting a positive care environment.

In health and social care settings there are principles which govern the practice of healthcare workers to ensure that quality care is provided for service users. This essay will discuss how principles of support are implemented in health and social care practice. It will also explain the theories that underpin health and social care practice and make some contribution to the development and implementation of health and social care organisational policy.
In social work practice, client assessments are important because they allow social workers to gather information from clients. This information helps the acting social worker better understand clients presenting problems. The assessment also helps social workers evaluate a client’s progress and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions used. In this paper, a multidimensional assessment will be performed on a client I have been working with at my internship placement, Urban Ministries of Durham. Once all relevant information is presented, and intervention and treatment plan will be discussed.
