Book Description
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, P.L. 111- 148, enacted March 23, 2010) established the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) program, a new federally administered voluntary insurance program to help adults age 18 and over with disabilities pay for long-term services and supports (LTSS). Added as a new title XXXII of the Public Health Service Act, the CLASS program is a departure from the way the federal government currently supports LTSS. The program is administered by the federal government [the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)] but, unlike other federal LTSS programs, CLASS program benefits will be financed entirely by individuals' age-adjusted premiums. Individuals who are eligible for CLASS program benefits will receive cash payments to help them pay for services and supports they need to live in the community, or in a residential or institutional setting. This publication describes the major provisions of the CLASS Act legislation, including requirements for enrollment and eligibility, benefits and services, premium amounts, the CLASS Act trust fund, and timelines.

Emergency Medical Services for Children
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309048885
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
How can we meet the special needs of children for emergency medical services (EMS) when today's EMS systems are often unprepared for the challenge? This comprehensive overview of EMS for children (EMS-C) provides an answer by presenting a vision for tomorrow's EMS-C system and practical recommendations for attaining it. Drawing on many studies and examples, the volume explores why emergency care for childrenâ€"from infants through adolescentsâ€"must differ from that for adults and describes what seriously ill or injured children generally experience in today's EMS systems. The book points the way to integrating EMS-C into current emergency programs and into broader aspects of health care for children. It gives recommendations for ensuring access to emergency care through the 9-1-1 system; training health professionals, from paramedics to physicians; educating the public; providing proper equipment, protocols, and referral systems; improving communications among EMS-C providers; enhancing data resources and expanding research efforts; and stimulating and supporting leadership in EMS-C at the federal and state levels. For those already deeply involved in EMS efforts, this volume is a convenient, up-to-date, and comprehensive source of information and ideas. More importantly, for anyone interested in improving the emergency services available to childrenâ€"emergency care professionals from emergency medical technicians to nurses to physicians, hospital and EMS administrators, public officials, health educators, children's advocacy groups, concerned parents and other responsible adultsâ€"this timely volume provides a realistic plan for action to link EMS-C system components into a workable structure that will better serve all of the nation's children.
