Care of the Chronically and Severely Ill: Comparative Social Policies

By J. Hollingsworth and J. Rogers Hollingsworth

Because most severely and chronically ill people will receive care outside of hospitals or nursing homes, there is increasing recognition that the integration of community-based care, including home care, must be an objective of health policy. Contributors explore the structure of community-based and home care, along with the ways in which services are provided at one or all of the following levels: central government, state or provincial government, local government, and the private sector.
