The Elderly Their Health Their Frail Planet
This book is principally about health care, health services, the elderly patient, our global population, and the planet they all occupy. It was written for several reasons. Firstly, because the author is quite elderly and thereby accumulated considerable practical and personal insights into America's medical care and health services for the aged. Secondly, he decided to share several personal medical events and experiences with others. Thirdly, he decided to express his concern for the overall quality of health care in America and to urge further improvements into the nature and character of patient care. Fourthly, he wished to stress the need to noticeably improve global health care and health services planning in the very long term as humanity and nature methodically transform our frail planet. The author argues that medical care in America all too often falls short in meeting the health care needs of the elderly. He states that a large part of such care is preventative and curative in nature and that patient and medical worker relationships are an important aspect of this care. He adds that patient satisfaction with medical care is a key indicator of the quality of service received. Patients have expectations and opinions on the quality of their care. He maintains that health care and service providers have an obligation to offer the best possible care and, beyond that, to steadily improve the quality and value of this care. The author urges professionals to more successfully contribute to the direction of remedial care by the medical and drug industries. He cites numerous opportunities for change in health care and health services and stresses improvement needs in patient and medical care relationships, the medicating of patients, and institutional care giving. The medical profession must maintain a disciplined approach to constantly improving health care services within an expanded timeframe. This book is not simply an assessment and recommendations on what must be done to improve local and today's medical care for the elderly. The author makes a case for more solidly linking present-day health care with humanity's medical needs that are far beyond the present-day horizon. He links local health care for the elderly with global health care demands in a constantly changing world. He connects strategies to improve day-to-day health care conduct with a need to protect universal health far into the future. We must simultaneously safeguard our frail planet from disturbing health and environmental disorders.
