| Annotation | Facilitating access to needed services - assuring quality and containing costs - pose an ongoing set of challenges for long-term care (LTC) US policy makers and practitioners, which could equally apply to those in the United Kingdom. The ten articles in this volume aim to deepen and extend current thinking and discussion about selected LTC financing and coordination issues that cut across access, quality and cost. The articles were commissioned by the Home Care Research Initiative, a national programme of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (US) that has supported research and analysis intended to improve the knowledge base underlying home-care policy. These articles aim to provide some fresh approaches to overcoming both financing and service delivery barriers. If there is one theme that emerges, it is that to adequately address future LTC needs, financial resources must be harnessed from a variety of sources to provide more effectively coordinated mechanisms.
