| Annotation | Long-term care spans a broad range of very diverse services and a pivotal location within the overall continuum of health and health care. Changes in one component of care affect and are affected by all other components as health care may be characterised as a dynamic series of interdependent processes and persons. The current state of Canadian health care in general - and long-term care in particular - demands the skilful juggling of universality and diversity to maximise both these characteristics without sacrificing either. In an atmosphere of reform and fiscal restructuring, the organisational, utilisation and financial implications for this system on a tightrope are substantial. The challenges are of major proportions in maintaining a balance while securing a future system that is efficient, efficacious, equitable, effective, and empowering. (RH). |
