| Annotation | Between 1996 and 1998, a study of the implementation of local continuing health care policies and criteria was conducted by three health regions. Through interviews, this study also examined the experiences of patients and carers. This synopsis outlines the research project's aims and methods, the policy background, and findings. The results suggest that problems remain with implementation of continuing health care guidance. Since local continuing health care policies were produced early in 1996, the policy agenda has continued to evolve. The current agenda emphasises new mechanisms for collaborative working, and places renewed emphasis on the importance of listening to users. If followed, continuing health and social care needs of patients and their carers may increasingly be met more effectively and comprehensively. (RH). |
